After the Oversight Committee received more than 95,000 photographs showing wealthy and powerful men who socialized with Jeffrey Epstein, Democrat Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called for an end to the government’s cover-up in this case.
- We will not rest until the American people know the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW!” he stated.
- In fact, prior to the release of the photographs showing Donald Trump and even Steve Bannon with Jeffrey Epstein, there were also indications of ties between the controversial financier and at least two high-level Democrats: Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary; and Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader.
- While I will continue to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will step back from my public commitments as part of a broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with those closest to me,” he wrote in a statement.
“It’s time to put an end to this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends. These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.
We will not rest until the American people know the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW!” he stated.
“Democrats have used the Epstein issue, which affects them far more than the Republican Party, to try to divert attention. Perhaps the truth about these Democrats and their ties to Jeffrey Epstein will soon be revealed, because I just signed the bill to release the Epstein files!” he wrote.
The bill, formally known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Once the material linked to the New York financier—who died by suicide in his cell in 2019 after being convicted as the leader of a child sex trafficking ring—can be reviewed, the victims’ families seek to identify possible accomplices and criminal liabilities.
In fact, prior to the release of the photographs showing Donald Trump and even Steve Bannon with Jeffrey Epstein, there were also indications of ties between the controversial financier and at least two high-level Democrats: Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary; and Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader.
After his name appeared in documents linked to the sex trafficking ring leader, Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary during Bill Clinton’s presidency, apologized and pledged to withdraw from public life.
“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and acknowledge the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.
While I will continue to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will step back from my public commitments as part of a broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with those closest to me,” he wrote in a statement.
Regarding Jeffries, a supposed email put him under scrutiny, claiming that a consulting firm affiliated with the Democratic Party that worked for him in 2013 sent Jeffrey Epstein an invitation to support him as a congressman, even promoting him as one of New York’s rising stars in Congress, whom they described as the “Barack of Brooklyn,” a reference to President Barack Obama.
“Call us if you’d like to attend the dinner or if you want the opportunity to get to know Hakeem better. He’s an impressive guy who will be a progressive voice in New York politics for many years,” part of the email reads.
