Fifteen months of investigating, and Washington still can’t find the files it’s sitting on.
House Republicans finally dropped their final Oversight report, and somehow the only thing it fully cleared was the president. Thomas Massie got his 218th signature, Democrats are sharpening January subpoenas, and the White House answered with a warning letter that reads a lot like nerves.
Meanwhile, survivors kept telling the truth and our sleuths kept doing the slow, careful work Congress keeps promising and never delivers. Let’s get into it.
Today’s Key Takeaways
- GOP Oversight report: Republicans say the government failed survivors for decades, then declared Trump did nothing wrong.
- St. Thomas airport: Sarah Kellen testified that FBI agents left without questioning her after Epstein spoke with them in 2007.
- EFTA II: Massie’s discharge petition hit 218, forcing a House vote on a second Epstein files law.
- Democrats in January: Hearings, subpoenas and banks are on the agenda, and the White House is already warning them.
- Epstein’s crypto: DOJ records show he pitched crypto to Russia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar while publicly calling it a Ponzi scheme.
- The Model Trap: A new BBC documentary follows the modeling scouts and agents who allegedly delivered young women to Epstein.
- Fact check: A viral “blackmail videos” headline has zero evidence behind it.
The GOP Report Lands, and So Does the Spin

Democrats say the files are still being hidden. The White House is reportedly hiring more lawyers. We’ll keep reading every page, so stay angry and stay kind to the women who carried this story when nobody else would.
