Imagine a pair of American expats who once lived in Georgia move to France and have a baby. When the baby turns 18, he gets to vote in American elections, despite never having lived there. Not only that, he gets to vote in swing state Georgia, even though he’s never been and his parents haven’t […]House Republicans officially subpoena Epstein's partner in crime
While Democrats continue to feign outrage over President Donald Trump's handling of the Epstein files, House Republicans are taking action.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) officially subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell, who co-conspired with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 and is working alongside the Department of Justice to facilitate the deposition at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on August 11.
'Transparency is the way that we disinfect.'
Although the Trump administration has tried to turn the page on the Epstein saga, House Republicans have been vocal in their pursuit for transparency.
Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee told Blaze News that he would "absolutely" want to see Maxwell testify before Congress.
"Heck yeah," Burchett told Blaze News. "Get her up there. Let's talk."

"Transparency is the way that we disinfect Washington, D.C.," Republican Rep. Mike Haridopolos of Florida told Blaze News.
Other members, like Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina, cautioned that Maxwell's testimony might be unreliable while she continues to appeal her case.
"I don't know what kind of witness she's going to be and how reliable even what she's going to tell you is," Harris told Blaze News. "If it's going to involve cutting a deal or something like that, I don't know. ... But no question, the information she would have and the insights that she would have would be very valuable and interesting for the American people to hear."

As Maxwell's legal team continues to appeal her case, the DOJ has also been speaking with her legal counsel to meet with Epstein's convicted co-conspirator.
"This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement Tuesday.
"President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence," Blanche added. "If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say. Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department."
"I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now."

Trump doubles down on 'bulls**t' Epstein files: 'I don't want their support anymore!'
While the MAGA base continues to demand answers about the administration's botched handling of the Epstein files, President Donald Trump is not backing down.
In his latest Truth Social post, Trump likened the Epstein scandal to the "fully discredited" Russia hoax and the "Laptop from Hell," referring to Hunter Biden's laptop. The common thread according to Trump is that all of these scandals were manufactured by Democrats to threaten his presidency.
'The American people feel highly disappointed. They feel like they've been betrayed.'
"These Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates," Trump said Wednesday.
Trump criticized the legacy media and even some of his supporters who think there's more to the Epstein story, calling them "weaklings" and saying he no longer wants their support.

"Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls**t,' hook, line, and sinker," Trump said. "They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years."
"I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country's history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," Trump added. "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats [sic] work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!"

Although Trump is urging Republicans to turn the page on Epstein, several lawmakers told Blaze News that they would be in favor of additional transparency.
"We've gotta address this thing. America is ticked off about it," Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee told Blaze News. "But I think President Trump gets it."
"The American people feel highly disappointed. They feel like they've been betrayed," Republican Rep. Eric Burlison of Missouri told Blaze News. "This issue isn't going to go away."
