    reuters.com/world/us/us-house-

    Some members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee are open to the possibility of a presidential pardon ​for Ghislaine Maxwell if it would enable her to share information ‌with the panel for its probe into Jeffrey Epstein, committee chairman James Comer told Politico on Wednesday.

  3. yahoo news | Lawmaker shares theory behind Epstein accountant's U-turn

    Rep. Ro Khanna told “MS NOW” that he believes the sudden reversal by Jeffrey Epstein’s former accountant, Richard Kahn, was driven by political pressure from former President Donald Trump. Kahn had initially testified before the House Oversight Committee that Epstein’s estate paid a settlement to “Jane Doe 4,” the woman who alleges Trump raped her at age 13 in the 1980s. Within hours, Kahn’s attorney walked back the claim, offering only a vague “neither confirm nor deny” stance on any settlement.

    Khanna pointed to the fact that the FBI had interviewed Jane Doe 4 four separate times, arguing that such repeated questioning lends credibility to her allegations and suggests the settlement story was not fabricated. He warned that Trump could have instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi—or her successor—to launch a prosecution against Kahn or otherwise retaliate, creating a chilling effect that would make the accountant “bite his tongue” and retract his testimony.

    The lawmaker’s theory hinges on the interplay between the high‑profile nature of the case, the potential for Trump‑linked political retribution, and the stark contrast between Kahn’s initial admission and his rapid repudiation. If Khanna is correct, the retraction may reflect fear of legal consequences rather than a genuine lack of evidence, leaving the question of whether any settlement was actually disbursed unresolved.

    ‘Lolita,’ passports and more famous figures pictured in latest Epstein photo release

    Politics Dec 18, 2025 6:09 PM EST

    Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released another collection of images from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Thursday, on the eve of the Justice Department’s deadline to release all of its files on his case.

    Around 70 photographs come from Epstein’s computer and email accounts, and shed more light on his lifestyle and social circles. The photographs, among 95,000 handed over by Epstein’s estate last week, were provided to the committee without context.

    One image shows former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates standing next to a woman, whose face is redacted. Another shows Noam Chomsky seated next to Epstein on a plane. Several images show a social gathering over a meal and several faces of powerful or public figures, including Epstein. A separate image that appears to be from the same room shows Google co-founder Sergey Brin and New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is a regular contributor to the PBS News Hour. The photos are undated.

    A New York Times spokesperson said in a statement, “As a journalist, David Brooks regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns, which is exactly what happened at this 2011 event. Mr. Brooks had no contact with him before or after this single attendance at a widely-attended dinner.”

    Several images in the new release show Epstein photographed with women whose faces have been redacted. One photograph appears to show three women with Epstein, with an open computer nearby. One of the women has her arm around his shoulder. Another photo shows Epstein seated on a plane, pointing out a window while a woman sits closely beside him. Her face has also been obscured.

  8. Epstein island photos, videos released by House Oversight Committee – Live Updates – POLITICO

    Epstein island photos, videos released by House Oversight Committee

    By Hailey Fuchs, 12/03/2025, 11:50am ET, Updated: 12/03/2025, 7:06pm ET, They are the first release from a new tranche of subpoenaed files that include also records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

    The House Oversight Committee has received new materials from major financial institutions as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as photos and videos of Epstein’s private compound from authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    The files from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank have not yet been publicly released, though Democrats on the panel say they expect to release them in the coming days after a review. These documents are separate from the federal law enforcement records Congress voted to make public last month; the Justice Department is required to make those materials public later this month.

    “[House Oversight Democrats] intend to release files to the public in the days ahead,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, in a post on X. A spokesperson for the committee’s Republican majority confirmed the receipt of the materials.

    Democrats publicly posted videos and photos Wednesday that were provided by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned his infamous private retreat.

    Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin speaks out on Epstein files, shutdown and gerrymandering

    By Zsana Hoskins | [email protected]

    Newly-released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate are stirring political tensions in D.C. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke with WTOP about the emails, fallout from the federal shutdown and the political stakes ahead.

    The email messages, disclosed by the House Oversight Committee, suggest a closer relationship between Epstein and President Donald Trump than previously acknowledged — including one email in which Epstein wrote that Trump “knew about the girls,” though it remains unclear what he meant.

    The White House has reiterated that the president did nothing wrong and has said his association with Epstein ended in the 2000s.

    On Friday afternoon, Trump further escalated the controversy by directing the Justice Department to investigate several Democrats that he alleges had ties to Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton.

    “They (the newly released emails) confirm what I think most Americans have suspected, which is that Donald Trump indeed knew what was going on with the girls … But in any event, what we’re looking for here is a complete release of the file,” Raskin said. 

    At the same time, lawmakers are dealing with the fallout from the 43-day government shutdown that ended this week, sending hundreds of thousands of federal workers back to their jobs.

    Congress approved a short-term sending bill to keep the government open through the end of January, but the temporary deal leaves the possibility of another shutdown looming if no long-term agreement is reached.

    Discussing the government shutdown, Raskin said lawmakers had been fighting to protect health care, federal workers and SNAP benefits.

    “There was a trillion-dollar cut to Medicaid at the same time there was a trillion-dollar tax break given to the wealthiest people in the country … and we did not get everything we wanted. And we’re going to keep fighting to make sure that the health care of the people is addressed,” he said.
