U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has agreed to cooperate with securing subpoenas for records relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, according to a note passed to a fellow Democrat during a Dec. 14 Congressional hearing on the connection of America’s foster care system and child sex trafficking.
“I also have a note here from chairman Durbin, making clear his intention and willingness to work with Senator Blackburn on a bipartisan basis to obtain records relevant to the Jeffrey Epstein case, ” said Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), chairman of the Human Rights subcommittee. The subcommittee falls under the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Mr. Durbin serves as chairman.
