Ro Khanna Pushes for Release of Epstein Files
California Representative Ro Khanna is stirring the political waters regarding the Epstein files, actively pursuing action in Congress. Recently, he proposed amendments to the Genius Act, which would require Attorney General Pam Bondy to make all records related to Epstein publicly accessible on a government website within a month.
This movement for transparency arises amidst claims there’s no client list, even as President Donald Trump and his administration have backed Bondy. Khanna expressed frustration about the ongoing secrecy, questioning the reasons for the files still being concealed.
“Why are the Epstein Files still hidden?” he inquired in a post on social media. “Who is rich and powerfully protected?” He stressed the importance of congressional votes to bring all members on record regarding this issue.
“Let the chips fall anywhere.”
The situation has escalated following the leak of a notable memo from the Justice Department about Epstein. Sources close to the matter indicate tensions between Bondy and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino are palpable.
While many, including Khanna, are critical of how the Epstein files have been managed, some conservative figures have accused Democrats of leveraging the scandal for political gain. Richard Grenell remarked, perhaps sarcastically, about a potential financial windfall if “sleepy Joe” takes charge.
Meghan McCain weighed in, asserting that if Democrats are genuinely concerned about Epstein, they shouldn’t mention Bill Clinton at all during campaign discussions. “Who’s the joke here?” she asked pointedly.
In response to the backlash, Khanna acknowledged the criticism but emphasized that delivering results to Americans should take precedence. “We should get the files on a bipartisan basis to restore trust,” he stated, referencing McCain’s comments as part of a broader discussion. He also hinted that future accountability for both parties could look different, suggesting that priorities might shift depending on who is in power.
