Congress’s Epstein case inquiry and DOJ referral

First aired Latest aired

Gone quiet since

Where it stands

Congress voted to refer the Epstein investigation to the Justice Department, Rep. Pete Sessions said, arguing that the move took the inquiry out of Congress’s hands and turned a bipartisan effort into a political fight. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi later said President Trump was not cooperating as fully as lawmakers wanted; Congress’s oversight and effort to obtain answers remain unresolved in the reports.
