Rep. Garcia on Oversight Investigating Trump's Accusations - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast
Congressman Garcia (D-CA) discusses the ongoing congressional push to obtain more of the Jeffrey Epstein case materials, arguing that a significant portion of the records—including photos, videos, and other data—remain in DOJ custody and have not been released to Congress or the public.
He claims the disclosure process has been obstructed through “layered” redactions, where documents were allegedly redacted once inside the FBI and then redacted again before being provided, leaving even key items like an alleged unindicted co-conspirators list partially obscured.
Garcia criticizes Attorney General Pam Bondi for refusing to answer questions and calls for stronger consequences, while also describing deposition testimony from Les Wexner that he says was evasive and raised questions about why federal investigators allegedly never interviewed a central Epstein financier.
The conversation broadens to alleged failures by law enforcement across administrations, scrutiny of Epstein-linked locations such as New York, Florida, and New Mexico, and renewed calls for accountability for officials and prominent figures accused of downplaying or misrepresenting their ties to Epstein. - 02/25/2026.
