Schumer calls for FBI assessment on Epstein files potential security threats

Senate reduction leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y. Has asked the FBI to carry out a covered profit supply assessment for the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Schumer said the Senate on Tuesday FBI evaluation Should three things do it: Find out whether foreign intelligence agencies could gain access to the information. “The President does not want to publish in the Epstein files through methods that contain cyber intrusion.” Identify all vulnerabilities that could be exploited by foreign intelligence agencies with access to non-public information in the Epstein files, “including the possibility of gaining levers over Donald Trump, his family or other high-ranking government officials”. And lead to the fact that the FBI publicly shows that the office “develops reduction strategies to counteract these threats and to protect our national security”.

At his weekly press conference of the democratic leadership, Schumer condemned what he categorized as an Epstein complaint, and continued to aim at President Donald Trump and House speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

“Trump promised to publish the Epstein files while he was on the campaign path, but he doesn’t have it yet,” Schumer told reporters. “Spokesman Johnson literally preferred to close the congress and send everyone home into an Epstein break to avoid the topic. The Americans are right to be angry with the lack of transparency, but there are also some very real questions about risks of national security.”

“In view of Trump’s total overview of the publication of files and the reputation of what we know about the FBI Whistleblowers, of course, it is to ask. What happens if our opponents use cyber attacks and other means to access files and materials in Epstein that are harmful to President Trump and the people around him?” Schumer continued. “What happens if the Epstein files end up in the hands of Russia or North Korea or Chinese governments? If the Epstein files are not completely released for the public, our opponents could use this, Epstein, to blackmail this information like the president to blackmail someone like the president?

Last Thursday, according to Schumer, the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Ministry of Health and Human Services were Among several government agencies Hacks as part of a violation of Microsoft SharePoint System.

“This was confirmed that it was Chinese actors. So we don’t need it again,” said Schumer. “We have to make sure that this cannot happen. National security is and should never be a partisan problem. We have to do everything we can to ensure that we protect the USA and American families. This report is crucial for this. There is also another thing that Donald Trump could do to suppress the anger, confusion, frustration and/or deep fears.”

Last week, Johnson ended the legislative period of the house a day earlier and switched to a potential coordination of a resolution of Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., And Ro Khanna, D-Calif., Which forced the Ministry of Justice and the FBI to publish the Epstein files. Johnson claimed on Sunday that House Republicans supported “maximum disclosure” But argued, however, that the decision was “ruthless” and poorly moved in and argued that they ignored the federal rules for the protection of Grand Jury Materials and “would ask the Doj and the FBI to publish information from which they know that they are wrong, based on lies and rumors and was not even credible enough to be included in the court proceedings.”

Johnson said he supported the attitude of the Trump government that “all credible evidence and information” was published, but emphasized the need for protective measures to protect the victim’s identity.

During a bilateral meeting with the British Prime Minister Keir Starer in Scotland On Monday, Trump was asked why he thrown Epstein out of his Mar-A-Lago Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“This is such an old story. To explain it very easily, but I don’t want to waste your time to explain it. But I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein for years. I would not talk because he did something that was inappropriate,” Trump told reporters. “He hired help and I said: ‘Never do it again.’ He stole people who worked for me.

Trump said that he rejected an invitation to Epstein’s notorious island in the Caribbean and claimed that former President Bill Clinton and the former President of Harvard University, Larry Summers, went.

“I never went to the island and Bill Clinton allegedly went there 28 times.” I never had the privilege of going to his island. And I rejected it. But many people in Palm Beach were invited to his island. I refused in one of my very good moments. ”
