"Epstein, Epstein, Epstein: Revelations of ties between powerful men and the deceased, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in files released by the government continue to reverberate. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer seems to have avoided defenestration yesterday over his appointment of Epstein pal Peter Mandelson to be ambassador to the US. ( AP) US Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie says their viewings of unredacted files at a DOJ reading room have yielded the names of six men "likely incriminated" but whose identities are shielded in the documents. They suggested they may share the names on the House floor. ( Axios) US Representative Jamie Raskin said the files "are filled with redactions of names and information about people who clearly are not victims." ( Politico) Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appears in the most recent batch, prompting calls from some lawmakers that he resign. ( Politico)"

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appears in the recent batch, prompting calls for resignation, and a 2006 remark attributed to Donald Trump suggested broader awareness of Epstein's misconduct.
