Jayapal: Congress Needs to Act ‘Right Now’ — Trump ‘Is Hiding Something’

Pam Key
16 Jul 2025

Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump is “hiding something” about the Jeffrey Epstein materials, so the House should move forward with a discharge petition “right away” to force a vote on releasing the files.

Co-host Pamela Brown said, “Republicans, including Senator Josh Hawley, have been calling for Ghislaine Maxwell to come before Congress and testify in public. Is this something you support?”

Jayapal said, “Absolutely. We think that the files should be released. We should have testimony from Maxwell. This is something that Trump supporters for years called for and now all of a sudden, the Trump DOJ, Trump himself is refusing to provide the kind of transparency that he was calling for before he knew what was in the files. So that leads to the question of what are they trying to hide? I think there should be transparency, regardless of who is implicated. I think the president’s switch and bait on this — bait and switch on this has been very telling in terms of why does he not want these files released.”

She continued, “The thing that Congress can do right away is there is a discharge petition from Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna that calls for the release of the files that I think is probably the most important thing that we should do right now. We should look at all the other ways that we can bring about some transparency on this.”

Jayapal added, “I think he is hiding something and he’s just pouring fuel on the fire.”

I can’t help but wonder if the Dems are stepping into a trap. I know it is farfetched but it could be beautiful.

There has to be a reason why Trump brought up releasing the files in the first place.  Perhaps more was learned after the face and Bondi advised him that the files shouldn't be released.

Trump brought this into focus so it would be foolish to do so if his name was on the list.  However, he is squirming right now like never before.  Not a good sign.

I have no doubt Pres. Trump is not involved in any way with the Epstein videos.

I think the "list" is actually a catalogue of videos. If the girls were under age those videos can't be released and if they were of age it's just porn and no crime was committed. 

No doubt AG Bondi has mishandled this from the beginning, but with everything else going on I would give her a pass.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

That thought crossed my mind as well.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If only Pramila would hide her face.  :baghead:
