4 key findings in the Jeffrey Epstein report from GOP-led House Oversight panel

A Republican-led House Oversight Committee report says Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes after 2005 might have been prevented if law enforcement and federal prosecutors had not repeatedly failed to act. Published after a 15-month inquiry, the report says the justice system enabled Epstein to operate with impunity and urges further scrutiny of his associates.

The 136-page report says Republicans referred two unnamed associates to the Justice Department for investigation, based on testimony from former Epstein assistant Sarah Kellen, who described abuse by them. It recommends interviewing or re-interviewing key people connected to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Democrats called the inquiry incomplete and partisan, citing withheld Justice Department documents and a lack of public hearings; Republicans accused them of focusing on President Donald Trump.
