Matt Gaetz Joins Democrat Calling for Bill Barr Testimony After Epstein Video “Contradiction”
U.S. Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) responded to a CBS News report regarding newly accessed video potentially showing a mystery figure on the stairs at the New York jail where sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was held. The video was reportedly recorded on the night of Epstein’s death, which was officially ruled a suicide. According to CBS, the “newly released video logs appear to contradict official accounts,” an assertion reiterated by Lieu.
[Note: The new video logs were released by the U.S. Department of Justice and show “an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where Epstein’s cell was located” on August 9, 2019, the night Epstein died. The alleged contradiction references the fact that authorities, including then-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, indicated at the time that no one entered Epstein’s housing tier on the night of his death.] . . .
