House Judiciary Committee Democrats release report calling for a special counsel to investigate Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein
House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 53-page minority staff report alleging a "growing body of evidence" that President Donald Trump was an "active participant" in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Rep. Jamie Raskin called for an independent special counsel to investigate Epstein's co-conspirators and what Democrats describe as a DOJ cover-up. The report cites testimony from 11 women and comes eight days before the midterm elections.
