Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to reporters Wednesday afternoon about Democrats’ efforts to force the Trump administration to release more files on Jeffrey Epstein.
Schumer was expected to be joined by Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.), the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and others who have spoken out about the controversy surrounding the administration’s handling of the files.
Schumer blasted the Department of Justice (DOJ) after it concluded that the convicted sex offender did not have a “client list” and that more documents wouldn’t be released. He also questioned the administration’s decision to interview co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, saying it “stinks of high corruption.”
Early Wednesday, the New York Democrat once again pressed the DOJ to “RELEASE THE FILES.”
“We’re using the obscure ‘Rule of Five’ to force Trump and Bondi to release the Epstein files to us,” he wrote on social platform X.
