It’s a White House cover-up.

The DOJ appears to be withholding files from a survivor making allegations about the President. We need answers and must investigate.

Rep. Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.house.govFeb 24(source)

Oversight Democrats have been investigating the handling of serious allegations by a survivor against Donald Trump when she was a minor. We have now confirmed that some of the documents related to this survivor appear to be missing from the files. Here’s what we know ⬇️

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialFeb 17(source)

Tomorrow, I’m leading a deposition of Les Wexner for oversight dems. Wexner was Epstein’s largest benefactor and contributor of wealth. Why? And what does he know? I have a bunch of questions, and I bet you do too.👇🏾

Shameful.

The more we learn about the attack on Marimar Martinez, the worse it gets: Greg Bovino actually THANKED the agent who shot a U.S. citizen five times. This agency is rotten from top to bottom and should absolutely be held accountable.

Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov is laser focused on holding this corrupt administration accountable and bringing everyone connected to Epstein’s crimes to justice. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

‘The DOJ Cannot Be Trusted’: A Top Democrat Unloads on the Epstein Files Saga

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee discusses the Epstein files, accountability for the Trump administration — and what happens if Democrats take the House this fall.

Rep. Robert Garcia shows how it's done.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Robert Garcia (name truncated, 11h) stating that Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen with no weapon or criminal record, and that a CBP officer shot her five times. The post adds that the officer later bragged about his actions in a group chat and calls the incident disgusting and shameful. Below is a video thumbnail of Garcia seated at a congressional hearing table, speaking, with other lawmakers visible in the background.

Huntington Beach and OC Huddle are ready to win and flip more Orange County seats blue. We are ready to focus on infrastructure investments, stopping new coastal oil drilling, and taking on corruption. Let’s go!

ICE is not welcome in Long Beach & LA.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

Amazing to meet so many new voters in Orange County at the Dem OCPAC meeting. Incredible activists and new supporters across Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 29(source)

Amazing time with the Seal Beach residents at Leisure World! Thank you for the warm welcome. Looking forward to representing Orange County in 2027 thanks to California Redistricting.

ICE now gets over $30B a year with the surge from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. That puts a domestic enforcement agency in the same spending range as major national militaries. This is an out-of-control, bloated agency getting a blank check from Congress while basic accountability is ignored.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 27(source)

Can’t wait to haul up Stephen Miller in front of the Oversight Comittee.

Impeach Kristi Noem. Abolish ICE.

Reposted byRobert Garcia

Rep. Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.house.govJan 24(source)

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS. Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 23(source)

As an immigrant who spoke only Spanish as a kid, I can see myself in Liam Ramos and so many other children who are being terrorized by ICE. My anger and fury is real, and I look forward to hauling all those responsible in front of the oversight committee when I’m chair.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 16(source)

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Donald Trump is the worst President this country has ever had.

Reposted byRobert Garcia

Rep. Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.house.govDec 30(source)

Donald Trump spent his whole campaign saying he was going to release the Epstein files. Then, he called it a hoax. Now, the DOJ says it "found" a million new documents, but Trump said the investigation was over just last week. This Administration can't be trusted.
