The Democrat-led House Oversight Committee released new Jeffrey Epstein files this week that were billed as a breakthrough.Instead, the files revealed almost nothing conclusive—just a handful of selectively chosen appointments that do more to smear political opponents than uncover the truth.The documents dropped names like Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel—figures whom Democrats often target—without establishing any wrongdoing.WATCH: James Comey INDICTED for DEFRAUDING AmericansThe implication was clear: use Epstein’s notoriety as a political weapon.But what Democrats and their media allies failed to mention is that these so-called meetings happened during a period when Epstein was trying to invest tens of millions of dollars into tech start-ups.Meeting wealthy investors with venture capitalists is neither unusual nor incriminating. It is standard business.That context, however, did not fit the Democrats’ narrative. Instead of focusing on the banality of these business connections, they chose to highlight names that would make headlines and embarrass Republicans.The committee’s strategy is transparent: turn a national disgrace into a partisan weapon.Yet buried in these same files are names far more telling—names that the mainstream press has been reluctant to cover. Former Democrat Senator George Mitchell, once a powerful figure in Washington, is mentioned explicitly in Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony.She recalls traveling with Mitchell and Epstein, not to a Manhattan dinner or a boardroom meeting, but on an overseas trip to Italy.According to Maxwell, the group even toured the Vatican archives together, holding historic documents such as Henry VIII’s divorce request to the Pope.These were not fleeting encounters. They were personal, international trips with one of the most influential Democrat senators of his era.Other connections also raise questions. In 2021, former New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo partnered on a Puerto Rican marina project with his longtime friend Andrew Farkas.Farkas’s previous partner in Caribbean luxury marina ventures was Jeffrey Epstein himself. While Democrats posture as if Epstein’s shadow only falls across conservatives, the reality is that their own party leaders maintained business and personal ties to the disgraced financier.This pattern is telling. Instead of shining a light on where Epstein’s influence really reached, Democrats selectively edited what the public saw. The names they highlighted were chosen to score partisan points.The names they downplayed—like Mitchell and Cuomo’s circle—hit far closer to home.The American people deserve a full accounting, not a political stunt.Epstein’s crimes were monstrous, and his network of connections spanned the political spectrum. Selective transparency only proves that Democrats care less about truth than about weaponizing tragedy for short-term political gain.If oversight means anything, it must be even-handed. That means investigating Democrats as aggressively as Republicans, exposing the real relationships Epstein cultivated with those in power, and refusing to allow one party to distort the record for its own benefit.The post Democrats Named in Newly Released Epstein Files.
