A Republican member of Congress is urging people to be hanged publicly if they’re found to be involved with the crimes of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee was speaking to reporters about the case Tuesday when he was asked, “Should there be an investigation or a special counsel investigation?”
Burchett responded:” I don’t know, I’m not an attorney. I just – find ’em guilty and hang ’em publicly. That’s not over the top either. I’m ready. I’m over it. It disgusts me.”

He added: “I’m big on clarity and transparency and that’s a good reason people don’t trust government in either party.”
The congressman was then asked: “You don’t believe what the Justice Department is saying?”
“No, I don’t,” Burchett replied. “I don’t trust ’em.”
President Donald Trump revisited the Epstein issue Tuesday, telling reporters just before flying to Pittsburgh that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should release more files if they were “credible.”
“It’s gonna be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release,” Trump said, adding Bondi “has handled it very well.”

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is now demanding a special counsel to probe the Epstein case.
“We need a special counsel. That has got to happen,” she told journalist Benny Johnson.
“I hope it doesn’t become a false idol to Republicans where we just lose sight of everything else, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want answers.”

House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky urged Bondi on Tuesday to begin exposing and arresting individuals connected to the Epstein network and its cover-up.
“Take the ball and run with it,” Comer told Johnson. “People want to see accountability.
“There have been a lot of investigations. The Deep State has been exposed thanks to [CIA Director John] Ratcliffe and [FBI Director] Kash Patel. Let’s start prosecuting these people. Let’s set some examples out of some people.”

Also speaking with Johnson, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia debunked a false narrative that House Republicans unanimously voted to block the release of the Epstein files.
“That is not true,” she said, explaining it was merely a procedural vote to preclude Democrats from gaining control of the House floor.
“That means they could bring up anything. They could bring up impeachment articles against President Trump. They could bring up a whole package of insane, Democrat-agenda items and force votes on the House floor on these things.”
