| Even after his party bosses “reversed course,” Amir Hassan is staying silent rather than tell Michiganders where he stands on the Epstein file release.
Hassan was asked if he would have supported the measure to release the Epstein files, but he is “staying mum” and did not “provid[e] on the record responses” to questions.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Amir Hassan’s silence tells Michiganders all they need to know: he can’t bring himself to speak out against criminals, much less push for transparency and accountability. Hassan won’t stand up to his party bosses.”
American Journal: House GOP candidates stay silent on releasing Epstein files
- The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to release Justice Department files related to the investigation of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, but some Republicans who want to join Congress are staying mum on whether they would have voted the same way.
- American Journal News asked Republican House candidates in Michigan, Iowa, and Ohio if they would have supported the measure. None provided on-the-record responses.
- Inquiries were sent to MI-8 candidates Amir Hassan, MI-10 candidates Mike Bouchard Jr. and Robert Lulgjuraj, IA-2 candidates Joe Mitchell and Charlie McClintock, OH-9 candidates Josh Williams, Derek Merrin, and Alea Nadeem, and OH-1 candidate Eric Conroy.
- President Donald Trump fought against releasing the files, but abruptly reversed course on Sunday night…
- It is widely speculated that Trump, who was a close friend of Epstein, is somehow implicated in the investigation. Reporter Michael Wolff claims Epstein kept photos of Trump cavorting with young, bikini-clad girls in his personal safe. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel refused to say if such photos exist when questioned by Senate Democrats.
- Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 28 women. Last year, a court found him liable for sexual abuse in a civil suit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who says Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1996.
- A PBS/Marist survey from last month found that 61% of voters want all of the Epstein files released. Another 13% say the files should be partially released.
