Speaking on Meidas Media, Schumer emphasized the urgency of obtaining all Epstein-related documents and warned that the DOJ must not withhold any data under legal pretenses. He explicitly stated his lack of trust in Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel, and former President Donald Trump, asserting the need for relentless congressional oversight to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/florida-board-of-education-passes-new-transgender-restroom-rule\/\" title=\"Florida Board Of Education Passes New Transgender Restroom Rule\">ensure full transparency<\/a>.The issue resurfaced after Trump&#8217;s DOJ accepted official accounts of Epstein&#8217;s death in custody, leading to a nearly unanimous House vote, supported by almost all Republicans, to release the so-called Epstein files.
