‘Everything Should Come Out’: John Fetterman Declares Trump-Epstein Bombshell ‘Troubling’

 

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said he will push the Senate to take up a vote on a discharge petition to release documents related to the late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein following the release of bombshell emails referencing President Donald Trump.

Fetterman joined CNN’s Dana Bash on Inside Politics on Wednesday shortly after several emails written by and addressed to Epstein were released. House Republicans dropped 20,000 pages of Epstein documents after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails in which Epstein specifically discussed the president. The two were former friends.

Fetterman called the emails “absolutely troubling.” One email from Epstein to his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving 20 years for sex trafficking, referenced Trump spending “hours” at Epstein’s house with an alleged victim. Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while being charged with sex trafficking.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of pushing a “fake narrative” to “embarrass” the president. Leavitt noted that the victim’s name that was redacted in the emails from Democrats is the late Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim who long said she does not believe Trump, whom she had worked for, was guilty of any wrongdoing during his relationship with Epstein.

Fetterman argued the best course of action is to simply release “everything” related to Epstein, something critics have pushed the Trump administration to do following a Department of Justice/FBI statement earlier this year denying that Epstein was sex trafficking for high profile associates.

“It’s absolutely troubling to see that, and I think we probably need more,” Fetterman said about the emails.

The senator said he expects there to be enough votes in the House soon so a discharge petition over Epstein files can make its way to the Senate. Bash asked whether Fetterman would push Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to bring the petition for a vote, and Fetterman said he would.

“Everything should come out,” the senator declared. “Enough people agree that it should come out, and just see where this goes and follow this where the evidence [goes].”
