Decades-Long Epstein Coverup Was Mainly for ‘Hollywood CEOs’
As a member of the Chamber’s Judicial Committee, the representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX) has a history with the alleged files of the late Jeffrey Epstein and wishes to see them given to the public, once the identities of his victims are protected.
As a father of three young children and former American Apache helicopter pilot, Hunt was more frank: “If someone hurt my children in this way, I would tear their thorax and their infants to them.”
Hunt, in his second mandate in the congress, commented on the testimony awaiting Ghislaine Maxwell, former partner of Epstein and sometimes girlfriend who is currently in prison for her role in the traffic of minor girls for Epstein. While the congress is now in its summer recess, the James Comer’s supervisory committee has assigned it to testify and expect to do so in next week.
Hunt spoke to Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers, hosts of The drill downOn the whirlwind of the last six months in Congress since President Donald Trump took office. The question of the publication of Epstein files was, for him, only the final CODA of the session.
“I think we are going to get to the bottom of some of the strange things that continued, but a lot of this strange cabal, it’s on the left. It is actually Hollywood CEOs for which they hid for this,” he told Schweizer and Ggers.
“And I find it funny that, even if we are talking about Epstein at the moment, what about the previous four years under Biden? Nothing. And Obama? Nothing … For those who think that President Trump was on this flight or on the island of Epstein, let me tell you, we would already know,” he said. “We would have known him before the first time he ran.”
Noting the frenzy among some on the left on this question, Schweizer said: “One of Trump’s great gifts is his ability to bring out the worst of his opponents.”
The interview with Hunt with Schweizer addressed many of the questions with which the Congress dealt with during its first six months, including a provision in the “Big and Beautiful Bill” which would prevent illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid funds and a challenge from the Supreme Court to the executive order of Trump to redefine the citizenship of the birth law.
While the action of the court waits, however, Schweizer asks: “Is there something that Congress can do?”
Hunt believes that the restrictions of the MEDICAID bill to illegal immigrants respond to it. He sees these questions in personal terms.
“My great-great-grandfather was a slave … born in the plantation of Rosdown about 30 miles north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” he said. “But when you think of the slaves of my history, which is why the citizenship of the birth law was created – for them. And then you think of people who enter this country, having children, then they obtain the same rights as those whose families have worked the land in this country like slaves, obtaining exactly the same rights? I can assure you that it is not what the founding pathers expected.
“We have strengthened Medicaid by demanding that it be reserved for American citizens only,” he said. “I did not fight for this country to place the Americans in the second row,” said Hunt, who served in Iraq.
Eggers notes that an estimate that “$ 4.2 billion in food coupons went to non-citizens”.
Hunt represents a district in the suburbs of Houston and does not plan to stay in power in the long term. “My generation has been doing nothing for a long time,” he joked, adding that he considers his time to DC as helping to build a generational “cultural bridge” between the older members of Congress and millennials like him.
A graduate of West Point with two master’s degrees, Hunt was mentioned as a possible candidate to join the Trump administration to a certain extent and told the hosts that he would be delighted to do so if asked. It is satisfied with how Trump’s administration has done things so far.
“People are satisfied with what we see,” he said. He applauded Trump for having moved quickly in the first days to adopt his program. “He already knows where the bathrooms are and where the skeletons are.”
