To be clear: when I discovered Rep. David Scott had not voted in the past 6 elections, I was just as shocked as everybody else—but it only reaffirmed my decision to run. GA-13 deserves representation that shows up at the ballot box and in the community, and that's what I will do.

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.
