"Justice Department under Fire for 'Gigantic Cover-up' of Epstein Investigation"
A top Democrat has launched a scathing attack on the Trump administration's Justice Department, accusing it of a "shameful and gigantic cover-up" over the abrupt shutdown of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's alleged co-conspirators. Congressman Jamie Raskin, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, claims that the decision to end the probe in July has shielded a network of powerful individuals accused of enabling and engaging in a massive sex trafficking operation.
According to Raskin, nearly 50 women had provided information to prosecutors and the FBI as part of the investigation into Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. He claims that these women identified at least 20 co-conspirators, providing detailed descriptions of how Epstein's operation was structured and financed.
Despite this evidence, the Trump administration has allegedly abandoned promises made under the Biden administration to coordinate with victims in pursuing charges against Epstein's co-conspirators. Raskin demanded to know why the investigation was shut down despite the presence of this crucial evidence.
The Justice Department has responded by blaming Democrats for the shutdown and claiming that they have provided more than 33,000 pages of documents to the House Oversight Committee - a move Raskin's office claims is insufficient.
Raskin's letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi is seen as a significant escalation in the controversy surrounding Epstein's case. It raises questions about whether the Trump administration has been deliberately covering up evidence and shielding powerful individuals from accountability.
The investigation into Epstein's alleged co-conspirators had been ongoing for years, with nearly 50 women coming forward to share their accounts of exploitation and abuse. However, the probe appears to have stalled under the Trump administration, prompting Raskin to demand answers about what went wrong.
Raskin's allegations are likely to reignite debate over the Epstein case and raise further questions about the Trump administration's handling of high-profile investigations.

I'm not buying it. Like, come on 33k pages? That sounds like a total load of hooey to me. Where's the actual evidence? Can we see these women's statements or profiles? Or are they just gonna sit in some dark room forever? This whole thing reeks of "we're covering our backsides" vibes. The DoJ is more worried about saving face than actually solving a crime, if you ask me 
.
. I mean, 50 women sharing their stories? That's some serious evidence right there. And now it seems like we might never know what really went down with Epstein and his crew. It's not just about covering up for rich folks, it's about justice for these women who were hurt so badly. The fact that the investigation just... stopped is a huge red flag 
. I'm all for transparency and accountability, especially when it comes to powerful people like this. Anything less feels like a waste of time 
. the fact that they abandoned promises made under the biden admin and are now covering their tracks is just disgusting 
.
. congressman raskin is speaking truth to power and demanding answers, but honestly i'm not even sure what will happen next 
.
. It's like, what are we supposed to do with all this evidence if it's not being used? 
. Can't let powerful people get away with shielding themselves from accountability 
.
. It's all about who you know and who's got power, sadly 
. Like, yeah, the Justice Department should be held accountable for their actions, but let's not jump to conclusions just yet. We don't know all the facts and I'm pretty sure it's not that simple. Maybe they did make a mistake, but let's hear both sides of the story before we start calling out the whole administration 
it's like they're trying to sweep this under the rug and protect their buddies. 20 co-conspirators identified by nearly 50 women, that's not just a tiny leak, that's a whole network of people involved. And now Raskin is calling them out on it? good for him 
I'm kinda surprised they didn't get more info from those women, like what if some of them got silenced or something? anyway, this whole thing is super sketchy and needs to be looked into further 
.
. I mean, what's going on? Is it really true that the Justice Department is trying to cover up evidence and shield powerful people from accountability?
