House Democrats Investigate Whether Jeffrey Epstein Acted as Foreign Agent
House Democrats, led by Representative Jamie Raskin, are investigating whether convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein acted as an unregistered foreign agent for multiple countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Russia, and Israel. Raskin sent a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, DNI nominee Jay Clayton, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio requesting records from the Trump administration on Epstein's international ties. The letter alleges Epstein capitalized on his friendship with President Donald Trump to secure business from foreign governments without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), potentially violating the law. The Department of Justice has yet to release 2.5 million files related to Epstein, which Raskin believes may contain evidence of his foreign dealings. The investigation also raises questions about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case, including selective redactions and a controversial meeting with victims.
