Dem lawmakers demand Epstein investigators fork over unseen evidence: 'Cover-up stops now'

Three private investigators believed to possess “critical evidence” related to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes have been hit with new demands from lawmakers to provide access to that material, Rep. Robert Garcia said on Tuesday.

“Epstein’s private investigators have been holding hard drives with critical evidence on them for decades,” Garcia wrote Tuesday in a social media post on X. “We’ve made it very clear that we want access to that data, and soon. The cover-up stops now.”

During a Monday appearance on MS NOW’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell,” Garcia explained that it was during the House Oversight Committee’s recent interview with Darren Indyke – Epstein’s longtime personal attorney – that lawmakers first learned of the existence of the hard drives and other yet-unseen material related to Epstein.

“During our interview with Mr. Indyke, who was the personal lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, he admitted that it was Epstein's private investigators – three of them in particular – that had [Epstein’s hard drives, computers and other data] in their possession, and that they actually had them this entire time,” Garcia said.

“Not just that, but to his knowledge, law enforcement, the FBI, the [Justice Department], no one had actually ever accessed these hard drives, which we understand contain likely video and other critical information as it relates to Epstein and his crimes.”

Garcia went on to reveal that members of the House Oversight Committee – on which he sits as its ranking member – sent letters to the three private investigators a “couple of days ago,” and that in the letters, they made it “very clear that we want access to those hard drives.”

Garcia said he expects the private investigators to “get back to us right away,” and that the committee had also asked all three to sit with lawmakers for an interview.
