Democrats just took back Congress, and Hakeem Jeffries is about to take the Speaker’s gavel. But is he the right person to lead the Epstein investigation, or the person most likely to limit it?
Hakeem Jeffries is in the Epstein files and about to choose who investigates them. Attorney Ed Lyman follows the money: $1.7M in pro-Israel cash, Leon Black’s Apollo, Palantir, and the Ehud Barak subpoena Congress won’t issue.
In this episode, Ed discusses that the midterms weren’t a win for the Democratic establishment. They were a rejection of Trump, as MAGA split over Iran, Israel and broken promises on the Epstein files. And now the man who will hand-pick the members of the Oversight and Judiciary committees has his own connections to the case.
Hakeem Jeffries in the Epstein files: fundraising invitations sent to Epstein in 2013 and 2017, and Stacey Plaskett’s texts asking Epstein for advice about a leadership race alongside Jeffries.
Follow the money: about $1.7 million from pro-Israel PACs and lobbyists, $83,000 tied to Leon Black’s Apollo Global Management, and donations from Palantir executives and weapons makers.
The question Congress won’t ask: why no committee has subpoenaed former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and whether a Speaker Jeffries would ever let the investigation go there.
Hakeem Jeffries Chills Free Speech: Remember the TikTok vote? how the divest-or-ban law Jeffries voted for handed the app to Trump-friendly billionaires, and what that means for free speech and coverage of Gaza.
And what about the House Resolutions? Jeffries’ votes declaring Israel “not a racist or apartheid state,” and why Congress keeps passing symbolic resolutions while Americans can’t afford groceries.
Plus: Jeffries’ victory-speech alliteration breakdown, Ben Shapiro sharing his talking points, Gavin Newsom’s AIPAC claims, and why the Democrats could implode by 2028 if they don’t change course.
