FOX News

While Democrats and Republicans dodge true transparency on Epstein, hiding FBI files naming 20+ men in his trafficking ring, the cover-up unravels. From liberals to conservatives like Massie, who exposed Patel's lies, voters and leaders must unite across party lines to demand accountability. This isn't politics as usual — it's a fight to end the criminal cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring.
