'Hard to believe': Lawmaker suspects Trump and Bannon must have known of Epstein abuse

A House Oversight Committee member said he suspects President Donald Trump and MAGA strategist Steve Bannon must have known about late financier Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and trafficking of girls, according to a report Monday.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told TMZ how survivors have told lawmakers that Epstein proudly showed off images of his victims in his own homes, including one in the newly released batch of photos that showed a young girl passed out on a couch.

Bannon was advising Epstein in 2018, years after Epstein's 2008 plea in Florida, which Subramanyam called "particularly egregious."
