Hakeem Jeffries Attacks Trump Over Epstein: 'The American People Deserve to Know' [View all]

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) excoriated the Trump administration for refusing to release further information on the Jeffrey Epstein probe — telling reporters that “the American people deserve to know the truth.”

At a press conference on Monday, Jeffries was asked about what actions he wants to see the administration and DOJ take on the Epstein matter.

“Democrats didn’t put the Jeffery Epstein thing into the public domain,” he said. “This was a conspiracy that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and these MAGA extremists have been fanning the flames of for the last several years and now the chickens are coming home to roost.” Jeffries continued, explaining that “there are only two things that are possible here.”

Option one, Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and the MAGA extremists intentionally lied to the American people for years about the Jeffrey Epstein situation. That’s option one. Option two is that, in fact there is reason for the American people to be concerned as it relates to what information has not been released that could be damaging to the Trump administration and the friends and family of the Trump administration and their billionaire corrupt supporters. And so they are actively engaging in a cover up. Option one: they lied for years. Option two: they’re engaging in a cover up. At this point it seems reasonable that can only be one of the two things. And so it’s Congress’ responsibility to ask the questions and try to get answers on behalf of the American people.
