The new documents that Congress has forced the Justice Department to release make one thing clear: We are witnessing a criminal White House cover-up.

This is a White House cover up. RELEASE THE FILES.

We are going all in - and on all platforms - to hold Trump and those harming the American people accountable. Thanks to the NYT for covering the critical work of Oversight Dems. ➡️ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

George is a U.S. veteran who served in Iraq. Last July, he was detained by ICE for days without due process or the ability to call his family. He was betrayed by his own country, which he fought so hard for—which he still fights for today. This is not the America we believe in.

Instead of taking immediate action, the President and DOJ continue their White House cover-up of the Epstein files. This is not justice. They should release all the files, TODAY.

Robert Garcia leads Democrats’ strategy on Epstein probe, to GOP's dismay

Joined @oversightdemocrats.house.gov at our first field hearing on ICE raids in LA. We heard horrific stories from community members and workers. We are going to hold Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller accountable.

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration. It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

The Oversight Committee's subpoena of the Epstein files requires the DOJ to turn over documents—regardless of any federal investigations. Even if Pam Bondi tries to slow down the bill passed by Congress, she CAN'T do the same on our subpoena. Release the files, NOW.

The government should protect victims of abuse and hold their abusers accountable. No matter who is in the files, we will bring them to justice.
