By the time Jeffery Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl, he had established an enormous network of wealthy and influential friends. Emails made public this week show the crime did little to diminish the desire of that network to stay connected to the billionaire financier. Thousands of documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday offer a new glimpse into what Epstein's relationships with business executives, reporters, academics and political players looked like over a decade.

Just like D.C. home rule was won out of Black freedom struggle and the fight for civil rights, we can't be passive right now.

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee dropped its subpoena for former FBI director Robert Mueller to testify, hours after his family revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis to the New York Times on Sunday. Chairman James Comer had ordered Mueller to testify this week as part of the committee's wide-ranging probe into the Jeffrey Epstein files. Comer argued Mueller's tenure at the bureau, from 2001 to 2013, overlapped with federal investigations into Epstein and could shed light on unanswered questions.
