House Democrats launch investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as a foreign agent
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is launching an investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as an unregistered foreign agent for multiple countries, requesting records from the Trump administration on the scope of the late convicted sex offender’s foreign ties.
In the Republican-controlled House, Raskin’s demands to the Department of Justice, Department of State and intelligence community are likely to go unanswered, but his push as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee serves as a preview for how Democrats will pursue investigations if they reclaim the House majority in the next Congress, which would give them control of committees with subpoena power.
In a new letter, Raskin points to documents released by the Department of Justice and the House Oversight Committee and says that he has found “substantial evidence” that Epstein “acted to advance the interests” of the Saudi Arabian and Kuwaiti governments, advised the Russian government and worked as a consultant for a former Israeli prime minister. Raskin also raises concerns about the potential security risks Epstein’s foreign ties posed, given he was never registered as a foreign agent.
