A Texas Democrat candidate, Sara McGee, has sparked controversy with a shocking claim that the Trump administration will use an ongoing investigation as a pretext to block the release of Jeffrey Epstein's files. This comes after President Donald Trump asked the DOJ and FBI to investigate Epstein's ties to Bill Clinton and others. McGee alleged that the Trump administration has devised a 'diversion strategy' to avoid releasing the files, citing an 'active investigation' as the reason. The claim comes at a pivotal moment, as the House Oversight Committee has released several Epstein documents, including emails that mention President Trump. The House Republicans are set to vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which aims to force the release of federal Epstein files. If signed into law, President Trump could veto the bill, effectively blocking the release of the files. However, this would require a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers to override the veto. The ongoing DOJ investigation could also impact the release of the files, as the Act allows the DOJ to withhold information that could jeopardize an active federal investigation. With Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing a probe into Epstein's ties to Clinton and others, the DOJ may withhold parts or all of the files. President Trump has dismissed the Epstein scandal as a 'hoax,' and suggested that he shouldn't be bothered with the issue, given his duties as President. The fate of the Epstein files remains uncertain, as the investigation unfolds and the legislative process plays out.
