Why the House's Epstein investigation isn't going away

(Politico) The House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation will hit the one-year mark later this month, and the saga isn't ending anytime soon.

No matter which party ends up in control in the next Congress, the Oversight panel will remain under pressure to continue to investigate the late convicted sex offender and the web of power players who may have been complicit in his crimes.

Democrats are making clear that they view the committee's work under Republican leadership as incomplete and that the Epstein case will be central to their oversight of President Donald Trump's administration if they win the majority in the midterms.

"This is just the beginning," Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, an Oversight Democrat, said in an interview. "I believe this is the administration's Watergate. I think that it's clear that they are complicit in covering crimes and shielding the president from accountability and evading the law, and so I'd like to see all of them in front of the committee under oath."
