A commission of inquiry in the American Congress pointed out, Tuesday, November 10, "institutional failures" in the legal proceedings against the sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. These failures have long allowed them to “evade justice”, according to this commission.
Donald Trump dangled shattering revelations on this issue during the 2024 presidential campaign. The American president has suffered a blowback, including in his own camp, since his government announced in July 2025 that it had not discovered any new elements that would justify the publication of additional documents.
The controversy has only grown since then, and a law passed in Congress forced his government to publish more than three million pages of the Epstein file. At the same time, a commission led by deputies investigated for more than a year the management of the affair by the justice system and political leaders.
A report criticized by Democrats
The commission headed by Republican MP James Comer, a loyal supporter of the American president, denounces in particular an agreement concluded in 2007 between Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers and the federal prosecutor in Florida. The agreement allowed the financier to obtain the dropping of federal charges in exchange for a minimal conviction for acts of prostitution. The prosecutor's use of this agreement "to protect Epstein and his associates ... undoubtedly allowed Epstein to continue his horrific acts for years without any recourse."
The main Democratic member of the commission, Robert Garcia, denounced a hasty publication of this report which he considers partisan, and “based on an incomplete investigation and no public hearing”. When Democrats actually regain the majority in Congress in January, after the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections, he says he intends to conduct public hearings. In particular, he wants to “ask tough questions of powerful men linked to Epstein, including Donald Trump”.
