‘There Will Be Accountability’

On any given day, there is no shortage of things for Rep. Robert Garcia and his staff to investigate. As the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Garcia has tangled with the Trump administration on everything from the release of the so-called Epstein files to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis.

And surprisingly for a member of the House minority, he’s gotten results. Well before Congress passed a law requiring the release of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Garcia maneuvered within the Oversight Committee to slap a subpoena on the Justice Department, and he kept up the pressure on the Trump administration as material was released, including from the Epstein estate. The documents have proven to be a headache for President Donald Trump, as well as a host of others who have found their personal connections to Epstein aired in public.
