Over the weekend, Epstein survivors demanded that additional documents be released, accusing the Trump administration of concealing more than 3 million files

A Republican senator has changed her mind about the Epstein files after reviewing unredacted documents associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis recently reviewed a handful of documents from the Epstein files without redactions, saying in an interview afterward that she now understands “what the big deal is."

Lummis, 71, told Capitol Hill reporter Pablo Manriquez on Monday, Feb. 9, that while she previously had said, “I don’t care” about Congress’ efforts to force the release of Epstein evidence, she now believes the issue was “worth investigating.”

    Impeachment does nothing, he was impeached 4 times his first term and still finished it out.

      That’s because Impeachment tis only half of the process, and occurs in the House. The Senate chose not to remove him from office… This article is about a Senator changing their position.

      And would of course require yet another impeachment to remove him.

        This article is about a Senator changing their position.

        She didn’t really though, not in any meaningful way. She just said this:

        “And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong," she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.

        No plans, not even any lip service to people who want to see investigations, just “Welp, yeah they were right. What’s for lunch?”
