Republicans of the House of Representatives are preparing to quote the co-conspiradora of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, since the decision of the Department of Justice not to publish documents that detail his research on Epstein has divided the Republicans and caused a break between President Donald Trump and his base.
Key data
The Supervision Committee of the House of Representatives, led by the Republican Party, presented on Tuesday a motion to quote Maxwell and depose it “as quickly as possible,” said an assistant to the committee in a statement to politician.
The motion arises while some Republicans continue to ask for the publication of Epstein’s archives despite Trump’s insistence that his supporters leave the subject. The representative Tim Burchett, Republican by Tennessee, who sponsored the motion, said in a statement to Political: “This statement will help the US people to understand how Jeffrey Epstein could carry out their bad actions for so long without being taken before justice.”
Maxwell, who is serving a 20 -year sentence for his role in Epstein’s sexual trafficking plan, is attracting renewed attention following the controversial decision of the Department of Justice.
Earlier on Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General Blanche said he also hopes to meet with Maxwell, under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, to ask for additional information about other Epstein associates who may have committed crimes.
The motion on Tuesday occurred just before the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, Republican for Luisiana, canceled the voting planned for Thursday and sent the camera to recess on early Tuesday to prevent Democrats from forcing a vote, a bipartisan effort to force Congress to decide whether to publish additional files from Epstein.
Cita Crucial
“Did you bothered me a bit to say that? Of course, but I am an older man, Mrs.,” Burchett told ABC News, referring to Trump’s comments that those who continue to ask for the publication of Epstein’s archives are “naive.”
Tangent
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told Forbes in a statement that he is in conversations with the Department of Justice and said that Maxwell “will always testify with the truth,” he added: “We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to discover the truth.”
Key history
Given the implacable reaction of its bases, the Trump administration has taken a series of measures in recent days that, in general, are considered ways of diverting attention from the Epstein saga. On Monday, the Department of Justice published additional documents related to his investigations on the private email server of former State Secretary Hillary Clinton and the death of Martin Luther King Jr. On Sunday, Trump also launched a wave of publications in Truth Social, including videos and images of artificial intelligence that show the arrest of former president Barack Obama. He also threatened to block the construction of a new American football stadium for the Washington Commanders in Washington, DC, if the team does not change its name again to Redskins. Last week, Trump ordered the Department of Justice to publish selected testimonies of the Grand Jury in his investigation into Epstein, a measure that some magician figures, including representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican by Georgia, rejected as an inappropriate attempt to appease those who criticize their management of Epstein’s documents.
