Rep. Nancy Mace said she is reviewing unredacted Epstein files and plans to seek testimony and additional documents. She said she wants the public to know what happened and argued that Congress should pursue the matter in a bipartisan way.
Mace told NPR she spent two hours reviewing unredacted files in a Justice Department room and described restrictions on access. She said she searched documents for names of possible co-conspirators and is checking a list of people she may ask the House Oversight Committee to bring in to testify, while taking care not to include victims.
Mace said she plans to request information from the Oversight Committee, the CIA and the Southern District of New York. She asserted that emails refer to CIA documents, said she believes President Trump was exonerated by the files, and criticized what she called the politicization of the issue. These were her statements and claims in the interview.
