House Democrats Vow Epstein Probe, Targeting 2.5 Million Withheld Pages

Summary
House Democrats say they will keep investigating Jeffrey Epstein after Republicans ended a 15-month House Oversight probe with a report they said closed the matter.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming Oversight chair, called the GOP report incomplete and said the Justice Department is still illegally withholding more than 2.5 million pages of documents.
Democrats are discussing recalling witnesses for sworn testimony and issuing subpoenas to major banks that helped finance Epstein’s trafficking of young women and girls for years.
Last week’s wave election, which gave Democrats their biggest House majority in decades, has strengthened their claim that voters want the investigation to continue.
