(Adnkronos) – “Five women have directly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in the company or presence of Epstein.” This is what Jamie Raskin, the Democratic leader of the House Judiciary Committee, said, presenting the request for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the ties between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
“The Department of Justice is covering up ‘crimes to protect the president’,” Democrats state in a 53-page report in which they provocatively, one week before the midterm elections, ask Attorney General Todd Blanche to appoint an independent special prosecutor to investigate the ties between Trump and the pedophile financier who died in prison in 2019. “The efforts of the Department of Justice and the FBI to protect Trump instead of seeking justice require at a minimum the appointment of an independent special prosecutor – the report reads – this prosecutor should be tasked with investigating not only the president but all potential accomplices of Epstein.”
The Democrats nevertheless acknowledge that the Department of Justice, led by Blanche, the tycoon’s former personal lawyer, will very unlikely “take even this minimal step.” “Determined to protect the president at all costs, the Department of Justice is now leading the cover-up of Epstein’s sex trafficking operations – they conclude – Blanche has gone from being Trump’s personal lawyer to being his personal attorney general.”
