The Toll Comes Due: Trump, Epstein, and the GOP's Summer Cover-Up

It feels like a lifetime ago that Republicans shut down Congress to bury the Epstein controversy. Now they’re back in session—and the cover-up is cracking wide open. The toll is coming due—for Donald Trump, for Speaker Johnson, and for every Republican who played along with this insane scheme.

They’ve spent the last month flailing, trying to memory-hole the fact that they promised to release the full, unredacted Epstein files. Pam Bondi said they were on her desk. Kash Patel claimed he’d release them as soon as he became FBI director.

Then, over a sleepy summer holiday weekend, they tried to gaslight the entire country—pretending the files never existed and shutting down the investigation. They wanted us to forget.

We didn’t.

Thanks to relentless pressure from influencers across the political spectrum—and Democratic leaders like Rep. Robert Garcia, who refused to let it slide—the public still remembers. And this week, Republicans are going to feel the heat when Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie give Epstein and Maxwell’s victims a platform, a microphone, and a chance to be heard. For too long, their pain has been buried and denied beneath politics and power.
