🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialSep 6(source)

This week we expect to get and confirm the existence of the Epstein birthday book and note - the one that Trump says doesn’t exist. And now he’s calling our investigation a hoax. We are not stopping until we get the truth.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt person to ever be President of the United States.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialSep 5(source)

Weak job growth. Millions losing Medicaid. Tax breaks for billionaires. A cover-up on the Epstein files. Is America great yet?

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialSep 3(source)

Mr. President, you were told by your Attorney General that you are in the files. It’s not a hoax.

Trump on Epstein Files: This is a Democrat hoax. They’re trying to get people to talk about something that is totally irrelevant…

Today the Oversight Committee heard heartbreaking testimony from Epstein's survivors. They deserve justice. Ranking Member Robert Garcia makes it clear: no matter who you are, if you harmed innocent women and girls, Oversight Dems are coming after you.

This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in American history. His administration is working every day to erase the progress we’ve made. But Ranking Member Robert Garcia and Oversight Dems are here to fight back.
