The hearing would focus on the administration&#8217;s review of the Epstein case, specifically addressing a recent DOJ and FBI memo stating no further disclosure was deemed appropriate. This request comes <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >amid growing bipartisan pressure<\/a>,including from some GOP members,for the release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-announces-kennedy-assassination-files-will-be-released-tuesday-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump announces Kennedy assassination files will be released Tuesday - Washington Examiner\">long-awaited files<\/a>. Democrats see the issue as an possibility to challenge the Trump administration&#8217;s transparency and conduct regarding Epstein, following skepticism sparked by conflicting statements and the DOJ&#8217;s recent position that no evidence exists of a &#8220;client list&#8221; or blackmail. Additionally,Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) sought to propose an amendment mandating the preservation of all Epstein-related investigations and records, though it did not advance to the floor.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jamie Raskin asks Jim Jordan to hold judiciary hearing on Epstein files<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2174688\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Judiciary Committee ranking member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/JAMIE-RASKIN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jamie Raskin<\/a> (D-MD) sent a letter to Chairman<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/JIM-JORDAN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Jim Jordan<\/a> (R-OH) asking to hold a hearing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/JEFFREY-EPSTEIN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Epstein<\/a> files and possibly subpoena members of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s Cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and Republicans are pressing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the long-awaited Epstein files.
