Washington, D.C. (October 26, 2026)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a sweeping new Committee staff report, “‘We Have Certain Things in Common, Jeffrey’: The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s Desperate Efforts to Cover it Up,” detailing evidence involving 11 women, five of whom directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault in Jeffrey Epstein’s close company or presence. The report concludes that, based on the available evidence and witness testimony, Trump and Paolo Zampolli—who until recently served as a senior Trump Administration official and diplomat—may have been co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s conspiracy to traffic and abuse young women in the 1990s.

Washington, D.C. (October 22, 2026)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, demanded answers from Attorney General Todd Blanche and Office of International Affairs Director Vaughn Ary about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) obstruction of state and foreign investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s associates and co-conspirators. After shutting down an ongoing criminal investigation in the United States and going out of its way to pamper Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, DOJ is now reportedly withholding evidence from New Mexico investigators and blocking British investigators—all to protect President Trump. DOJ’s actions put an investigation into former British Ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson at risk of collapse and once again put Trump’s interests ahead of securing justice for Epstein’s survivors.

Yassamin Ansari are demanding answers from Attorney General Todd Blanche and Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the Trump Administration’s reported efforts to help Andrew and Tristan Tate evade criminal charges and whether it will comply with the United Kingdom’s request to extradite the brothers to face rape and sex trafficking charges.

Jim Himes, Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, are urging Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel to cancel his reported trip to Russia next month, raising urgent national security concerns about his plans to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg as the FBI expands cooperation with Russian and Chinese law enforcement agencies.
