Democrats struggled to explain why they didn’t release the Epstein files during former President Biden’s term, with Rep. Jamie Raskin admitting in an MSNBC interview, „I don’t know.“
Democrats stumbled this week when confronted about why they failed to secure the release of documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein while they still held the White House and Congress, as they demand action now.
„Morning Joe“ co-host Joe Scarborough pressed Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., on Thursday over why Democrats failed to act on the issue during the Biden administration and the liberal lawmaker failed to provide an answer.
„But, Congressman, you could have gotten that from ’21 to ’25, when Democrats controlled DOJ. Why — it was a crisis then. It’s a crisis now. Why didn’t Democrats call for it from ’21 to ’25?“ Scarborough asked.
„So, I mean, you’d have to go back and look specifically at particular prosecutorial decisions and what was taking place in terms of the other cases. So, I don’t know, we could try to reconstruct that record“, Raskin replied.
Democrats have seized on the issue since the case became a political controversy for the Trump administration.
