Representative Thomas Massey, a Republican from Kentucky, and Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, joined forces and forced the release of Epstein files because the Justice Department had said last July they had released all that they were going to and that's it.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that they didn't want to release the names of any of the women who have accused Epstein of abuse.
They didn't want to jeopardize any potential future criminal investigations.
So that was it.
In response, these lawmakers and what wound up being strong majorities in all of Congress approved a law that required the release of the documents.
About three million documents have been released and we're still waiting for
millions of pages more.
The department has said it has completed its review and is not expecting to release more.
And President Trump has said the country should move on.
But lawmakers and women who have accused Epstein of abuse continue to press for the release of all the documents that don't name those women and that wouldn't jeopardize criminal cases.
Well, Nancy Mace walking into the deposition with Hillary Clinton, Mace, a Republican from South Carolina and one of the key lawmakers who helped get that legislation approved to release the records, has said she is going to be asking Hillary Clinton to.
about Howard Lutnick.
Lutnick has testified before a Senate committee saying he has nothing to hide, that he didn't see anything bad happening at the island when he had lunch there with his family in 2012.
But Mace says that she has an email that suggests that there might have been some sort of message between Clinton and Lutnick, and she's going to be asking about it.
So we're going to be hearing more about Lutnick in the future.
On Thursday, the head of the World Economic Forum, that's the group that holds an annual meeting with top political and business leaders from around the world, resigned as CEO because emails disclosed a social relationship that this leader had with Epstein.
He has not been accused of wrongdoing.
That decision came a day after Larry Summers, a former U.S.
Treasury secretary, resigned
his position at Harvard University because he had been seen in emails exchanging messages, multiple messages with Epstein, including asking for advice on his love life.
