🚨Ed Martin said he planned to use a criminal investigation into James and Schiff to “look at everything else they've been doing.” That’s not how it works. A criminal investigation is not an excuse to pry, harass and threaten people about non-criminal conduct. This is dangerous.
Ed Martin: "Letitia James & Adam Schiff -- both their lawyers have come out and talked publicly about the criminal referrals...we're gonna follow the facts...and if somebody did something wrong, we're not only gonna hold them accountable, we're also gonna look at everything else they've been doing"

Top Trump officials reportedly met at the White House on Wednesday night to discuss strategy moving forward as the Trump administration continues to face criticism, including from Republicans, for its handling of the official files related to Jeffrey Epstein and the US president’s responses to calls for the release of all documents related to the criminal investigation into the late sex offender.
The meeting was reportedly hosted by JD Vance, with the gathering moved from the vice-president’s official residence to the White House, according to reporting by CNN. The meeting had been billed to include top Trump officials, including the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the FBI director, Kash Patel. Vance and his staff had denied that a meeting to discuss the handling of the rumbling Epstein scandal was taking place. Continue reading...
