🚨 Jamie Raskin reveals plans to investigate Trump's pardons and the people profiting from access to them. “We counted more than $1.7 billion” in forgiven restitution and fines, Raskin says. He specifically names Matt Gaetz and Roger Stone while discussing alleged “pardon brokers.” “We're going to shine a light on all of that.”

👀 Jamie isn’t actually @RepRaskin’s first name. Raskin tell @maxpcohen he was named after his grandfather Benjamin, but said his parents “played a trick” on him and reversed the name. The result: Jamin Ben Raskin.

On Monday the House Judiciary Committee Dems released an explosive 50+ page report documenting Donald Trump’s deep involvement in Epstein's criminal network and DOJ's refusal to prosecute or even investigate any of Epstein’s accomplices, co-conspirators and enablers. Read it yourself and help debunk Trump’s lies.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump. But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually attacking E Jean Carroll"

Our investigators compiled a six-year timeline tracing the events and evidence that tell a different story. From 1991 to 1997, Trump and Epstein were best friends and key players in the murky world of beauty pageants. Eight women have accused Trump of being involved in Epstein's sex crimes during those six years.

Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?

Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

🧵Judiciary Dems released an explosive report on Donald Trump’s participation in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex abuse and the DOJ’s strenuous efforts to cover it up. The report details evidence involving 11 women, five of whom directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault in Jeffrey Epstein’s close company or presence. 1/11

.@RepRaskin and I are demanding answers from @AGToddBlanche and @SecRubio about the Trump Administration's decision to intervene both internationally and domestically on the Tate brothers’ behalf — as they face serious criminal charges that include rape and sex trafficking. I called on Oversight Committee Chairman @RepJamesComer on July 23 to investigate Andrew and Tristan Tate's ties to the Trump Administration, including to Barron Trump. Chairman Comer never responded. We must remain vigilant and keep pressing the Administration and the Trump family on their efforts to protect the Tate Brothers.

Yesterday, during the No Kings nationwide early voting Day of Action, the group’s Instagram page was taken down for 90 minutes and its administrators were locked out. 

@Meta owes the organizers and the American people an explanation of why it silenced No Kings and undermined its Day of Action.

Just 22 days before the midterm Congressional elections, federal agents shockingly searched the D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a sitting Democratic Member of Congress from Minnesota. According to public reporting, DHS’s laughable excuse for this assault on our constitutional values was that they were looking for fraud in immigration paperwork that Rep. Omar’s late father filled out several decades ago, when Rep. Omar was a child and the family came to America as refugees fleeing the civil war in Somalia.

Rep. Omar has been a naturalized American citizen for decades, and her constituents have overwhelmingly elected her to Congress four times. She has now been made the target of a classic Trump political harassment and frame-up operation during the last three weeks of a Congressional election in which President Trump describes himself as being ‘on the ballot.’   Federal agents appear to have searched a sitting congresswoman’s home not to investigate any real crime or threat, but to carry out a campaign of political retribution against one of President Trump’s most outspoken critics. This kind of presidential harassment and persecution of a political critic is exactly why the Framers wrote the Speech or Debate Clause and the First Amendment—to protect Members of Congress and citizens against petty and vindictive reprisal by the Executive branch.   DOJ violated its own policy, which requires the Department to abstain from overt actions in politically-sensitive matters in the 60 days before an election, to conduct this search. This is no accident. Just 22 days before the elections, this is blatant political intimidation and an attempt to interfere with the Congresswoman’s reelection. It is also the culmination of a smear campaign against Minnesota’s Somali American community.   Rep. Omar now joins the ranks of multiple Democratic Members of Congress who have been targeted by Trump’s vindictive Administration on the most outlandish trumped-up charges, including Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Senator Adam Schiff, Senator Elissa Slotkin, and Senator Mark Kelly. This DOJ routinely harasses Trump’s perceived enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and my constituent Davey Hearn, a three-time Olympic canoeist framed on utterly bogus charges for turning our Reflecting Pool into an algae farm, which was actually the handiwork of Trump’s $15 million no-bid pool contractor. In none of these cases has the Administration succeeded in doing anything other than wasting taxpayer resources and forcing citizens to waste their own precious time and money defending themselves against bogus charges.   House Judiciary Committee Democrats stand with Rep. Omar against this outrageous abuse of power, and we will be demanding transparency and accountability as to who authorized this abusive search and who carried it out.

President Trump’s opponents are scrambling to ensure that the changes he has imposed on the presidency will fade with him. Whether they succeed could determine whether Trump’s exercise of executive powers will become a model for following presidents. wapo.st/47DHkhC

NEW: Judiciary Democrats demand DOJ investigate former Bard President Leon Botstein after uncovering evidence that he likely enabled and possibly participated in Epstein’s abuse—including an email asking whether a young woman Epstein was trafficking was “for me.” More than a dozen whistleblowers also describe a decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct at Bard. democrats-judiciary.house.go…

This #BannedBooksWeek, I’m proud to join @RepRaskin in fighting back against the Trump-Vance administration’s efforts to censor our nation’s diverse history and ban books across the country.
This Banned Books Week, we’re fighting back against President Trump and MAGA’s spiraling national censorship campaign targeting our free press, our schools, our libraries and the Smithsonian. I’ve introduced a Resolution with @SenBrianSchatz condemning book bans and supporting the American freedom to read and discuss ideas. thebanner.com/education/k-12…
