Democrat urges Americans to read extraordinary report on Trump-Epstein ties

Report details and allegations

Democrats allege that evidence shows Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s abuse of young women. They also accuse the Justice Department and FBI of keeping information from the public. These are claims made in the report, not findings described as established by the article.

Responses from Trump administration

A White House spokesperson said the allegations were untrue and said Trump had been fully cleared of anything related to Epstein. A Justice Department spokesperson told MS NOW the report was an effort by House Democrats to mislead the public.

Raskin calls for investigation

Raskin, the Maryland Democrat who is the House Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, said the Justice Department had not thoroughly investigated Epstein’s enablers and possible co-conspirators. He said this failure prompted Democrats to seek an independent special counsel.

Appeal to the public

Speaking with MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace, Raskin urged viewers to read the report and called its detail extraordinary. He said Democrats were not acting as prosecutors, but argued that the Justice Department had abandoned its responsibility.

Raskin said he could see no reason for the department’s conduct other than an attempt to protect Trump. The White House and DOJ, however, denied the report’s allegations and disputed its purpose.
