MoveOn: Epstein Cover-up Continues as DOJ Runs Out Clock

WASHINGTON – Following the Department of Justice openly admitting they will not release all of the Epstein files by midnight tonight, thus breaking the law passed by Congress last month, MoveOn Civic Action spokesperson Britt Jacovich released the following statement: 

“President Trump’s Department of Justice is breaking the law by holding all of the Epstein files hostage, and yet again, Trump is doing absolutely nothing. Trump doesn’t care about the victims or the millions of Americans calling for justice. He only cares about protecting the rich and powerful, even those who abuse young women and children. Every single person named in the Epstein files and involved in the cover-up should face accountability, regardless of their political party. No more delays, no more obstruction.” 

A MoveOn Civic Action petition calling on the Department of Justice and the Trump administration to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case has amassed more than 156,000 signatures. A separate MoveOn petition calling on Trump not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell has garnered more than 65,000 signatures and counting.
