House Democrats Seek Trump-Epstein Special Counsel
Newsmax ^ | 10/26/2026

Posted on 10/26/2026 7:59:31 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a renewed investigation into President Donald Trump's past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if they regain control of the House in next month's midterm elections.

A 53-page report released Monday by Democrat staff on the House Judiciary Committee calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate allegations that Trump participated in Epstein's sexual abuse of young women in the 1990s, Politico reported.

The report, titled "The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up," alleges that the Justice Department withheld evidence and sought to shield the president from scrutiny.

One of the noteworthy names that has surfaced in Epstein’s circles is U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

I wouldn’t be surprised if half the older Kushner family members are in those files, based on the reputation some of them have.

This Epstein nonsense is the most overblown shit I have seen in 50 years. Trump did not exchange a single email, out of the MILLIONS of them released. If Trump had a damn thing to do with him - outside of Epstein appearing in photos at Trump's NBC show parties along with hundreds of others - the Biden Regime would have released it to the drooling media long ago.

Epstein was a sexually-obsessed deviant, but nearly all of his very-willing whores were adults at the time. The ones that weren't is why he was in jail. But what does any of that have to do with Trump??

It’s one of those things that DSA should be careful what they ask for, get a Special Council appointed to investigate Epstein and Trump, what could come out is a bunch of powerful democrats and some of their biggest donors get implicated.

Concrete evidence comes to light about Bill Clinton and how many times he was on Epstein Island along with Reid Hoffman who is a huge democratic donor who financed the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit against Trump.

There may be some Trump associates with ties to Epstein. However, if the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives or the entire Congress, rest assured that those names will be revealed, even as they cover up ties to Democratic financiers and politicians who were Epstein's customers. It would have been better had Trump taken the hit in early 2025, even at the expense of the Kushners, than have it brought out in a leftist Star Chamber proceeding in 2027.

I assume what’s going on behind the scenes is that “The Epstein files” also include a ton of “Some random nutjob called the FBI and claimed to have been on Epstein island with Trump and Epstein and was abused. But when questioned about the buildings on Epstein island nutjob was unable to offer any descriptions”. And Trump knows that if the press were to get their dirty little hands on this they could cut the 2nd half off and just report on the 1st half. Nutjob would be on all the news programs talking about stuff that happened, NOW, with full descriptions of every place on the island, as she(?)’s had time to do the homework. (Or would be suitably coached by the MSM).

The Democrat Socialists will try to build a fire where smoke is nonexistent. Then to emphasize what they are doing, they will add mirrors to amplify the apparent effect of the introduced smoke, creating a complete illusion in regards for any facts manufactured to meet the demands of whipping up enthusiasm for inequities and defamatory declarations.

Not a new technique by any means, but is applied with enough fanfare and hoopla, is sure to gain plenty of adherents.

Well, the project is rational in having potential to hurt Trump. If they have a majority in the House they will set up a committee like the J6 committee—mostly Democrats with a couple of anti-Trump Republicans and have the media give it lots of attention to hurt Trump. They could pay women to make bogus accusations (like the fake rape case with E. Jean Carroll). But without a special counsel it won’t be as bad as the Mueller investigation.

“President Trump could have avoided all this potential show trial business by releasing all the files.”

In addition, if there was criminal activity in the files which have not been released, the Trump DOJ should have launched deep and serious investigations no matter where the chips fall. It seems as though full disclosure has not occurred because members of both political parties and some extremely wealthy and powerful oligarchs would minimally be embarrassed by disclosure or subject to prosecution.

During the first Trump administration, and the Biden administration, the powerful were willing to give full disclosure lip service in order to protect their people. Now it appears the Democrats, once back in power, have decided to use the heavy hand of government to persecute and prosecute Donald Trump, while continuing to ignore the crimes and corruption of their politicians and wealthy donors. Once again, Republicans play “nice” and the Democrats bring out the knives. Will they ever learn?
