The Republicans of the Chamber would not even let their Democratic colleague finish reading a motion to ensure the secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent Wednesday for information on the alleged sexual trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
During the hearing of the Kash Patel Judicial Committee to the House earlier, the FBI director repeatedly postponed the representative of Mary Gay Scanlon on $ 1.5 billion in suspicious transactions that the big banks had reported to the government linked to Epstein and his alleged collaborators in the Treasury Department.
After the hearing, Scanlon attempted to introduce a request for bessente to produce suspicious activity reports, but her republican colleague Tom McClintock would not even let her pass the words.
Scanlon said that it was looking for reports “in possession of the treasure service identifying the approximately $ 1.5 billion in auspicious -” transactions ”
“Uh, Mr. President?” McClintock has banned.
The chairman of the Chamber’s Judicial Committee, Jim Jordan, then recognized McClintock, who presented a motion of the scanlon request. Jordan replied that the request was “not questionable”.
“I’m not finished,” said Scanlon.
“She had not finished the motion,” said the representative Jamie Raskin. “It is inappropriate to cut it before its end, Mr. President.”
Jordan said she could finish her last sentence.
“Okay, we therefore ask them to identify about 1.5 billion dollars in suspicious transactions related to Epstein sex traffic crimes, Maxwell and their co -conspirators -” continued Scanlon, before being interrupted by McClintock once again.
This time, Jordan moved directly to vote on the motion of McClintock to the table, and the Republicans quickly crushed his attempt to call Bessent.

McClintock also moved to the Jasmine Crockett table representative movement To assign the chief of the prison office to produce files relating to the transfer of Maxwell, and the representative Eric Swalwell movement The assignment of the deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, for witnesses.
