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
The 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.
