Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told All Rise News that Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has been “sitting on” a file that he provided with “actionable” information about Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Wall Street banks.
“I’ve handed the Trump administration a ready-made Epstein case involving a billionaire financier and Wall Street banks, and they have done nothing with it,” Wyden said.
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently backtracked on promises that she made early in her tenure about major revelations in the Epstein case, but Wyden calls it “ludicrous” to suggest there’s nothing more to investigate.
“I know for a fact that the Trump administration is sitting on an Epstein file that contains new actionable information,” Wyden said. “So I don’t blame anybody for asking what’s going on.”
Can’t a senator read anything on the floor of the senate without fear of prosecution and doing so enters that info into the public record of the senate?
I don’t think anyone can do anything without fear of prosecution anymore. That’s a big part of this administrations strategy. Merit of a lawsuit has no bearing on the situation if it costs you hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove your innocence.
He has like a doctorate in law… Couldn’t he represent himself?
The saying I’ve always heard is, a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.
Theoretically. I doubt he would. Still, even in that case he has to make a significant time investment. I could reasonably be called an expert in my chosen field but I’d still be justifiably angry with you if you intentionally made me use the skills I’ve learned in my field under threat of financial or other legal repercussions.
