Former Attorney General Bill Barr testified under oath before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he never saw any evidence implicating former President Donald Trump in the crimes associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Oversight Committee Chair James Comer confirmed Barr's statement, emphasizing that Barr had no knowledge of any client list or information linking Trump to Epstein's criminal activities. Barr also indicated that if such evidence existed, it would have been leaked by President Joe Biden's administration. The testimony was presented amid ongoing public interest in the Epstein files, with some political figures noting that neither the Trump nor Biden administrations have released the full files. Congressman Tim Burchett remarked that there is likely little about Trump in the files, suggesting the matter has been mishandled. Meanwhile, questions remain about why Trump has not voluntarily released the Epstein files, despite having the ability to do so.
Trump could release the Epstein Files right now if he wanted to. He could've months ago. Why won't he? That's the story. https://t.co/K7rC0pC8lL
đšNew: Tim Burchett flipped the script on CNN about the Epstein Files: âI really donât think thereâs much about Trump in there, because Biden would have released it as well if it had. I just think the whole thing has been mishandled from front to back.â https://t.co/kLhwjDyRBS
BURCHETT: It disgusts me, really. Because you have people whose lives have been ruined DANA BASH: It disgusts that Trump's DOJ isn't releasing the Epstein files? BURCHETT: No ma'am. Well, we didn't under Joe Biden either. He had it for four years. https://t.co/Bemz8tT2Fz
