JD Vance targeted for testimony after he's 'implicated' in Epstein 'cover-up'
The ranking Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee is calling for Vice President JD Vance to testify under oath about his involvement in the White House’s Jeffrey Epstein cover-up.
Appearing on MS NOW with host Ana Cabrera, a fuming Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) cited an explosive report in the New York Times on Wednesday that Vance headed meetings held in the White House Situation Room to deal with fallout from the Epstein files. According to Garcia, Vance, along with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — who has also been in attendance at the secretive meetings — both need to be hauled before the committee headed by Rep. James Comer (R-KY).
“Well, look, obviously, [acting AG] Todd Blanche is near the top of the list [for testimony],” Garcia told Cabrera. “But there has been now new bombshell reporting where we have learned, as you know, that JD Vance, the vice president, has been holding meetings in the Situation Room, which is used for national security purpose just to discuss Epstein and looking at ways to exonerate President Donald Trump, coming up with a strategy on how they're going to use Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump's name.”
“And the vice president, for the very first time, is now implicated in part of this cover-up,” he accused. “He's meeting with Susie Wiles, he's meeting with [FBI Director] Kash Patel, he's meeting with Todd Blanche, he's meeting with [former Attorney General] Pam Bondi. And so it is now important that we, at some point, this committee has to talk to the vice president. We have to talk to Susie Wiles.”
“None of us, before this reporting yesterday, had any idea that the vice president of the United States is holding Situation Room meetings to talk about Epstein files strategy and is involved in this massive cover-up," he accused. “And so, look, Todd Blanche is important. He clearly caused major damage; he's not released all the files, but the vice president has a lot to answer for.”
“Why is he trying to use Ghislaine Maxwell to exonerate the president?” he asked.
