They are only released if/when committee chooses. Interviewee doesn’t even get a copy. In my case, they ran an β€œinterim report” full of bullshit that was refuted in my testimony, but we didn’t have a copy of that testimony until years later when Jordan published it.

I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I've agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it's still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

Now, Chairman Comer says he wants cameras, but only behind closed doors. Who benefits from this arrangement? It's not Epstein's victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth. It serves only partisan interests. This is not fact-finding, it's pure politics.

I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let's stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.

When the cEnSorShiP indusTriaL cOmplEx hearings were happening I offered to testify in public onlyβ€”if there was a mass cabal why didn’t Rs want accountability?! Why keep only calling liars like Shellenberger and Taibbi as witnesses w/backroom interrogations for perps?

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

New in PN: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on Trump's betrayal of Europe

"They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen. And yes, you do hear Europeans saying, 'why aren’t people protesting?' This all comes as a real shock to people who had a different expectation of what America was."

Also the reason FBI couldn't investigate Renee Good's shooting is bc doing so would contradict what Dear Leader said publicly.

And I would point Your Honor to two declarations
in a recent filing, which if Your Honor would permit, I
could file in a supplement in this case. The first is a
petitioner -- is a affidavit written by my client Oscar.
And that was filed at Docket 67, The Advocates for Human
Rights, et al., v. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
et al., Case Number 26-cv-749.
And Oscar's declaration is important for a few
reasons. One, it articulates just his horrific experience
throughout this proceeding. And it's easy for us to see
court orders not being complied with and the e-mails back
and forth on the computer, but his affidavit really just
shows what it's like to experience that and in ways that
were personally for me just sickening to read as his
attorney.
That he was without food. He was without clean

clothes. He was subject to physical danger, both through
reckless driving of ICE agents transporting him from one
location to another, watching people screaming in pain with
medical neglect, being exposed to COVID. Just the
conditions of his confinement; eating food that he conflated
with dog food. That people are just being treated like less
than human. And all of this was happening while he had a
court order for his release.
And while all of this is happening, ICE agents are
telling him to self-deport because he's got no chance to get
out of there other than self-deport, so he's being deprived
of access, and this is all in his affidavit. Myself and his
immigration attorney, who's here in the courtroom today,
were not able to talk to him. His immigration attorney in
particular made diligent efforts to ensure compliance with
the court order, and these are e-mails that are in Oscar's
case. I think you've seen these. We're trying to get ahold
of him. We're trying to get access to him. We're trying to
bring him home. And, meanwhile, he is sleeping on the
floor, if he gets to sleep at all, and he's being lied to,
denied access to phone calls to call his loved ones or his
attorneys. I would encourage Your Honor to read this
