House Democrats launch investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as a foreign agent
Raskin says recently released documents suggest Epstein used foreign ties to influence U.S. policy without registering as a foreign agent.
- On Monday, Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin launched an investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as an unregistered foreign agent, requesting records from the Trump administration on the late convicted sex offender's international ties.
- Documents cited by Raskin suggest Epstein "acted to advance the interests" of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Russia, and an Israeli official, allegedly ignoring mandatory registration laws required under FARA.
- Epstein "repeatedly capitalized on his long-term friendship with President Donald Trump" to secure foreign business, Raskin wrote, while failing to disclose lobbying activities as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
- Raskin sent letters to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, demanding written responses on whether Epstein was ever investigated for potential FARA violations.
- The Department of Justice still holds 2.5 million files related to Epstein, which Raskin believes contain further evidence of foreign dealings and influence on U.S. policy during the first Trump Administration.
