Rep Ted Lieu has ignited a fresh political storm after alleging that Donald Trump is repeatedly named in the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in January 2026. Lieu claimed that members of Congress who reviewed the fuller set of documents encountered disturbing allegations tied to the former president. His remarks, delivered during a forceful exchange on Capitol Hill, have triggered sharp partisan reactions and renewed scrutiny of the Epstein records.
According to Lieu, the unredacted files viewed by a select group of lawmakers mention Trump “thousands and thousands of times”. He further asserted that the documents contain grave allegations, including claims that Trump “raped and threatened to kill” minors. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, and no criminal charges have been filed against him in relation to the claims referenced by Lieu.
Ted Lieu Speech Sparks Heated Capitol Hill Clash
The controversy unfolded as part of broader arguments over the handling of Epstein-related material by the Department of Justice. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Ted Lieu confronted US Attorney General Pam Bondi, questioning the scope and redaction decisions within the released files. The exchange grew heated, with Democrats pressing for greater transparency and Republicans accusing Lieu of politicising sensitive allegations.

Former president?
“”””Rep Ted Lieu has ignited a fresh political storm after alleging that Donald Trump is repeatedly named in the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in January 2026.””””””””Trump arrested Epstein and Maxwell. Who did the democrats arrest when they had the files for years?
The democrats had control and access to these files for years. AG Bondi has had access for a year. They accuse her of a coverup. Sounds logical.
Lets talk about Bill Clinton. Why is all this about Trump who actually worked to stop Epstein?
There are far more democrats that were close to, and availed themselves of Epstein’s offerings. Like Hillary Clinton.
The people who knew and didn't say anything would be accomplices.
So, Ted Lieu, who are those people?
The aanswert is no, Ted Lieu is a known proven liar. He’s playing the same game that Schiff played furng Russia Gate BS.
Hope Ted shows up at a MinneSomalia “protest” armed, and gets in a scrap with federal agents.
The outcome would be Pretti Good.
They guy that reported it is a nutjob. And Lieu didn’t mention the 3rd page where the guy made other outlandish claims against other politicians.
Lieu better hope he said this in the Senate, or he’s open for a huge lawsuit.
Sheer bullshit.
If there is anything about Trump that would affect him politically the Demon-rats would have used it against him years ago. Mr President, sue sue sue.
Lieu is a friggin’ nutcase. When is he going to be deported? Morons that voted for the boy are crazier than he is. IMHO.
Just another example that the Democrats have become a completely immoral and unethical party.
My understanding is the Epstein files include memos where crazy people made crazy reports to the FBI not only about Trump but all kinds of people.
They receive crazy allegations about Trump every day of the week even having nothing to do with Epstein.
This has been pretty much acknowledged I heard CNN being honest about it when the Epstein files were first released. But democrats will do and say anything and they have millions on the internet repeating it all the time.
Yes, the Democrats had control of these files during the Biden administration , and did nothing with this subject.
My thinking is that if there is anything truly damaging about Trump in those files, the Biden administration would have released it when they were in power.
Off topic about Americans involved with Epstein, it was stunning to see Prince Andrew got arrested over issues relating to Epstein.
“delivered during a forceful exchange on Capitol Hill,”
So he’s Teflon, lying his ass off in chambers.
Good ole’ Ted Lie about u.
ICWYDT.
I’ve read Lieu before. I wouldn’t trust him any farther than I can throw him. I’m not interested. I’m waiting for corroboration and then rebuttal.
I agree.
How many times was Trump in court during the Biden years?
If they had anything bad about Trump in the Epstein files, given their penchant for dragging him into court over various issues, they certainly would have done so, if they had anything at that time relating to Epstein.
Ted Lieu does know someone that drugs and rapes black men.
Ted should talk more about his friend, Ed Buck.
“”””If there is anything about Trump that would affect him politically the Demon-rats would have used it against him years ago. Mr President, sue sue sue.”””
Exactly. ANYTHING in the files bad about Trump would have been the main topic during all three elections. Since they know there is nothing bad about him in the files they will try to accuse him of a coverup. As an uneducated deplorable this was clear from the beginning.
