Dad. Husband. VA-11 Congressman. Rep. Connolly’s longtime Chief of Staff. Official account.
(1/2): Trump has fought at every turn to prevent release of the Epstein files, including browbeating Republicans to oppose release and now breaking the law that he signed.

Another batch of Epstein files is out, and it points to a closer Trump–Epstein relationship than Trump has admitted. DOJ needs to follow the law, end the coverup, & release the full files NOW.

Holiday cheer is harder to come by when prices keep climbing. Trump’s tariffs cost American families $1,200 on average. That’s higher costs, tighter budgets — and not the holiday gift anyone had on their list.

When Congress returns, if DOJ is still not in compliance with the law, the House must act to end this cover up. That could include inherent contempt with fines for AG Bondi or impeachment.

As this White House cover up continues, Trump continues to act like he is guilty of something. It’s increasingly hard to believe that Trump didn’t know about Epstein’s crimes, given the depth of their relationship & Epstein’s recruitment of underage girls from Mar-a-Lago. We need the full truth.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

The survivors of Epstein’s crimes deserve justice. It’s heartbreaking that Trump’s DOJ pulled the rug out from under them yet again. They’re slow-walking the truth, but they can’t cover this up forever. There will be accountability.

Trump's DOJ dumped a partial batch of the Epstein files. It’s not a full release, & it is not compliant with the law. The DOJ is violating federal law as they continue covering up the facts. The survivors of Epstein’s crimes deserve transparency & accountability.

Trump’s DOJ says it won’t meet today’s deadline to release the Epstein files. This smells like a White House cover-up. The law requires ALL non-exempt records to be turned in by midnight. The victims deserve justice and accountability.

Under President Trump, Americans are paying more for groceries, more for housing, more for utilities, and federal workers are being told to accept a meager 1 percent pay raise. That is not just inadequate. It is insulting.

Trump’s Chief of Staff says Trump & Jeffrey Epstein were “young, single playboys together.” Epstein wasn’t a “playboy.” He was a convicted sexual predator. That language shows the moral rot in the White House surrounding the Epstein investigation.

A federal court reminded Donald Trump of something basic: in America, the Constitution comes before his cruel mass-deportation agenda. Ordering Kilmar Ábrego Garcia’s release is a huge win for due process & and a stinging rebuke of Trump’s unlawful tactics.
