"Why would the Trump Administration, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) kill an ongoing criminal investigation into a massive and decades-long criminal sex trafficking ring that preyed on girls and young women? Who exactly are you intending to protect by this action?"
"Raskin demanded to know why the investigation had abruptly ended despite the fact that nearly 50 women had provided information to prosecutors and the FBI as part of the years-long investigation into Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022. He claimed the women had identified to investigators at least 20 co-conspirators."
"The information provided by this huge group of women was precise and detailed: they described how Mr Epstein, Ms Maxwell, and their co-conspirators orchestrated a sophisticated and clandestine sex trafficking conspiracy that trafficked them to at least 20 men, Raskin wrote. These survivors shared with the DOJ and FBI the specific identities of many of these co-conspirators, how this operation was structured and financed, and which individuals facilitated these crimes."
A House Judiciary Committee ranking member demanded answers about the abrupt termination of a DOJ and FBI criminal probe into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators after the Trump transition. The investigation reportedly involved nearly 50 women who provided detailed information identifying at least 20 co-conspirators and describing the structure, financing, and facilitation of a sophisticated sex trafficking operation. The letter was addressed to US Attorney General Pam Bondi and questioned who the administration intended to protect by ending the probe. Ghislaine Maxwell was later jailed in 2022, and the case has received renewed scrutiny.
