'Stirring and unnerving': Lawmaker puts Trump on spot over 'one piece' of Epstein evidence



There is "one piece of evidence" in the Epstein files that is raising questions Donald Trump must answer, according to a Democrat in Congress.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, who recently said Republican lawmakers in the House are ready to abandon the president because of the fallout over files related to convicted child abuser Jeffrey Epstein, flagged the piece of evidence on MS NOW on Saturday.

Asked whether the Trump administration is breaking the law, Swalwell replied, "Yes, this is a violation of the law."

"Don't the American people deserve to know if Donald Trump is connected in a serious way to the most notorious child sex trafficker ever? That's what Americans want to know. And Donald Trump is doing everything to keep us from knowing that."

He added, "There's one piece of evidence that was released that's so stirring and unnerving."

Elaborating, he says, "It's a memo to Jeffrey Epstein, and it says, I have a female for him. And what is blacked out is the name of the person who called to tell him that. And to the president, I ask, don't you want the country to know who what sick individual called and offered that to Jeffrey Epstein?"

He then said, "Democrats have been demanding for a year that Donald Trump release the Epstein files. Instead, he released George santos. That's where his focus is right now."
