Assessment
A senior Democratic congressman has initiated an official investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. The probe demands documents from the Justice Department, State Department, and intelligence agencies, citing evidence that Epstein leveraged his ties to former President Donald Trump to influence administration policy.
