Trump Bows to Reality in Epstein Reversal, Beating a Rare Retreat
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/us/politics/trump-epstein-republicans-vote.html
Some have speculated the vote to release the Epstein files may represent a long awaited recognition by congressional R's that trump is not only a lame duck but a weak one at that given his dismal poll numbers. The thinking being we may have reached a tipping point when R's looking to get re-elected may fear their constituents more than retribution from the WH.
Which begs the question, will R's participate in this investigation?
In a letter on Tuesday, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., minority members on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, raised concerns that World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm heavily owned and run by the Trump family, may pose national security risks.
The letter — obtained exclusively by CNBC and addressed to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — argued that World Liberty Financial lacks adequate safeguards to prevent bad actors from moving funds or gaining influence over its governance.
