A heated House Rules Committee hearing erupts as James McGovern and James Comer clash over proposed contempt charges tied to the Epstein investigation. McGovern accuses Republicans of staging a political spectacle instead of seeking facts, pointing out that Donald Trump is referenced thousands of times in the released Epstein files. The debate then shifts to the scope of the Epstein document release and DOJ compliance. Comer claims roughly 3 million documents have been released, while McGovern counters that earlier DOJ representations cited closer to 6 million files, with only a fraction actually provided to Congress. Lawmakers also raise alarm over the Justice Department’s handling of sensitive material, warning that victims’ personal information may be exposed while powerful perpetrators remain shielded.
