🚨 NEWS: Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov and @robertgarcia.house.gov released a joint statement after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the Department of Justice will not be releasing the full Epstein files today.

Special Counsel Jack Smith offered to testify publicly about his investigations into Trump’s wrongdoing, but Republicans insist on keeping his testimony behind closed doors so they can cherry pick and distort his statements. I’m attending his deposition today to get the truth.

RM @raskin.house.gov stresses that ACA fraud is driven by a small group of bad actors—bad actors that the Trump Administration reinstated after the Biden Administration kicked them out of the healthcare markets they defrauded.

“Under Trump's first term, the deficit jumped from $665 billion to $3 trillion, from a B to a T, and he's already added another $2 trillion this term.” @kamlager-dove.house.gov calls out Republicans for pushing a balanced budget amendment despite their own fiscal record.

Judge Boasberg wasn’t funneled these cases by design or favoritism. The federal court in DC assigns cases to judges based on an automated, randomized system. Cases against Trump are no different. The facts speak for themselves.

NEWS: Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov’s statement on Chairman Jordan’s refusal to let the American people hear directly from former Special Counsel Jack Smith:

🚨🚨🚨 An explosive new House Judiciary Committee report exposes the Trump family’s multi-billion-dollar crypto empire, fueled by self-dealing and corrupt foreign interests, the dismantling of anti-corruption safeguards, and pardons for corporate cronies.

The House’s new texting-cop Ralph Norman may want to check his messages. On January 17, 2021, days after the J6 attack and 3 days before Biden’s inauguration, he sent texts begging Trump to declare “Marshall law” to stop Biden from taking office and to install Trump outside the Constitution.

NEWS: Ranking Member Raskin is demanding that Ed Martin preserve and produce all Weaponization Working Group records after Judiciary Democrats received credible allegations he concealed and destroyed federal communications to hide politically-motivated investigations.

Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with. Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?

In his first days in office, Trump abruptly killed the ongoing DOJ investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators. Why did that happen? Who’s Trump trying to protect?

As courts force Trump to pay SNAP benefits to 42 million Americans and the food pantries overflow, billionaires and sycophants flock to Mar-a-Lago for a black-tie Great Gatsby party. “They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money.”

NEWS: Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov, @jayapal.house.gov, @durbin.senate.gov, and @padilla.senate.gov condemn the Trump Administration’s decision to slash refugee admissions to 7,500—almost entirely limited to white South Africans—without the legally required consultation with Congress.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has nothing to hide from the American people. Chairman Jim Jordan should join @democrats-judiciary.house.gov and allow him to testify in front of the American public. Why are they afraid of the truth coming out?

Trump’s abusing his emergency powers to impose whimsical and arbitrary tariffs that are hurting American workers, American consumers, and American companies.

Trump’s dismantling our anti–human trafficking infrastructure—gutting programs at Homeland Security, the State Department, and USAID—making it much harder to combat global sex trafficking.   Survivors around the world are watching in horror as the systems we built to protect them are torn down.

NEWS: Ranking Member Raskin calls on Chairman Jordan to accept former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s offer to testify publicly before Congress regarding his investigations into Donald Trump’s criminal wrongdoing.

NEWS: Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov and @robertgarcia.house.gov launch investigation into Trump’s “blatantly illegal” plan to steal $230 million from U.S. taxpayers.

Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring was aided and abetted by the banks who looked the other way for DECADES. Next stop in Oversight Dems & @democrats-judiciary.house.gov's Epstein investigations: the financial records. We must end this cover-up and release the files.

NEWS: Ranking Members Raskin and Jayapal renew their demand for answers from DHS and ICE after a surge in reports of wrongful arrest and detainment of U.S. citizens, after the Trump Administration’s flippant response failed to address the Committee’s concerns and worsening abuses.

In February, Rep. Raskin and I called on DHS to explain why ICE was detaining US citizens. Their response was unserious. Today, we are once again asking Secretary Noem: Why do you continue unlawfully detaining U.S. citizens? thehill.com/homenews/hou...

In June we warned Ingrassia was unfit to lead the Office of Special Counsel, the agency responsible for protecting whistleblowers and investigating discrimination…

Trump campaigned on “releasing the Epstein files.” Then the FBI found his name and picture all over the files, photos and videos—now they’re keeping it under lock and key.   What else is in there? Who else are they protecting?

NEWS: RM @raskin.house.gov and @chuygarcia.house.gov lead Judiciary Democrats in demanding the Trump Administration end the lawless and violent crackdown on Chicago, warning that these actions are undermining public safety, violating constitutional rights, and destabilizing communities.

NEWS: After the Trump Administration shutters websites for Inspectors General, Judiciary Democrats launch a new resources page to empower whistleblowers to continue reporting on government corruption.

Speaker Johnson and Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files by refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Swear her in - RELEASE the FILES. Watch the full conversation between @robertgarcia.house.gov and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov on YouTube now.

New lawsuits against Bank of America and BNY Mellon allege their systematic failure to report suspicious activity around Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation caused massive harm to victims.

Good for you, New York Times. Good for you, Fox. Thanks for not accepting Hegseth’s ridiculous press pledge—an effort to turn you into mouthpieces for MAGA state propaganda. A free press is not the “enemy of the people,” but—when you do your job and tell the truth—the people’s best friend.

Who knew about the Homan cash bribery episode, when did they know it, and why did Trump appoint Homan as ‘Border Czar’ despite knowing he had taken a $50,000 cash bribe?

NEWS: Ranking Members Raskin and Swalwell issued the following statement on Senate Republicans’ latest attacks on the Department of Justice’s investigation and prosecution of Trump and his co-conspirators for their criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Ranking Members Raskin and Scott are demanding a federal criminal investigation into the Trump Administration’s commandeering of furloughed career civil servants’ email accounts to send partisan out-of-office messages, in violation of the First Amendment and criminal law.

Trump’s Department of Justice is not upholding the rule of law. Instead, it protects Trump’s interests by shielding his corrupt allies from legal trouble, targeting his supposed enemies, and using the legal system as a partisan weapon.

Trump is using the Justice Department as his personal law firm to protect himself and friends and as a weapon to punish people, organizations and states he doesn't like.

Why won’t Speaker Johnson allow Bondi to testify in the House Judiciary Committee? The American people deserve transparency, and we should not be covering up disgraceful and dangerous crimes.

Speaker Johnson is so desperate to avoid a vote to release the Epstein files that he cancelled votes this week in the House, thus preventing AG Bondi from testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. The smell of cover-up is thick.

Why is Secretary Noem telling President Trump and other felons they “shouldn’t be coming to the Super Bowl”? The Super Bowl is for all Americans—even Kristi Noem, who thinks the NFL “sucks.”

The monthly jobs report is missing. That’s no mistake. It’s a deliberate move to hide sagging economic performance. In Trump’s Orwellian Gangster State, all inconvenient facts are suppressed.

Ranking Member Raskin on Trump's halt to refugee admissions: "The land of the free is now admitting refugees based on the whimsical political favor of the president, as opposed to the severity of their personal circumstances." Read RM Raskin’s new op-ed:

WATCH: RM Raskin questions FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez on how Trump has turned the FCC from an independent agency into an instrument of authoritarian control over speech and society, and how this attack is central to the pervasive threat to our constitutional system.

The Trump admin and his Republican allies are shortchanging local law enforcement and vital programs that help crime victims by hundreds of millions of dollars. That does not promote public safety.

WATCH: Fmr. U.S. Attorney Dena King explains how federal task forces like the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) used a prosecutor-led, multi-agency approach to dismantle organized crime and drug trafficking networks.

Republicans only care about scoring political points. Otherwise they wouldn't be cutting funding for law enforcement. Today, I went to Charlotte to discuss crime and what we can actually do to combat it.

Public safety requires real resources, not empty talk. WATCH: @ross.house.gov asks how communities can stay safe when the Trump Administration is slashing funds for federal law enforcement, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, and more.

MAGA cheered YouTube’s reversal as a “free speech” victory. But what’s the actual state of free speech in America?

Bowing to MAGA, Alphabet is reinstating foreign and domestic accounts that the company had itself banned for disinformation. This alleged win for “free speech” is just corporate surrender to propaganda and lies.

NEWS: Rep. Deborah Ross and RM Jamie Raskin lead Judiciary Democrats in urging Chairman Jordan to invite Epstein survivors to testify before the Judiciary Committee, stressing that survivors’ voices are essential to understanding institutional breakdowns and strengthening victim protections.

NEWS: RM Raskin demands answers from AG Bondi after Trump forced out a Republican U.S. Attorney who refused to bring baseless charges against his enemies, and for installing his personal defense lawyer with no prosecutorial experience as Acting U.S. Attorney in Virginia.

NEWS: RM Jamie Raskin’s statement on Trump’s DOJ filing criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey:

NEWS: RM Raskin, Sen. Blumenthal, and Sen. Schiff are demanding answers from capitulating big law firms doing Trump’s bidding.

I'm joining my @democrats-judiciary.house.gov colleagues to demand access to the Homan tapes. The White House shouldn't be bought and paid for, and the American people deserve to know if the administration can be bribed with cash.
