《政客》杂志的一项民调发现，更多选民希望民主党推行可负担性议程，而不是继续深究已故、已定罪性犯罪者爱泼斯坦周围的影响力网络。
A POLITICO Poll found more voters want Democrats to pursue an affordability agenda than keep looking into the influence web surrounding the late, convicted sex offender.
众议院民主党人表示，他们在爱泼斯坦调查方面尚有未竟之业，并认为他们的基本盘指望他们兑现承诺。
House Democrats say they have unfinished business in regards to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and they believe their base is counting on them to deliver.
上周的选举大潮将使民主党获得数十年来最大的多数席位，这让他们更加重视这一授权；而周二发布的一份共和党报告宣称结束了众议院监督与政府改革委员会长达15个月对已故、已定罪性犯罪者的调查，进一步强化了这一授权。
It’s a mandate they are taking even more seriously after last week’s wave election that will give Democrats their biggest majority in decades — and further reinforced by the Tuesday release of a Republican report that purported to close the book on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s 15-month investigation into the late, convicted sex offender.
即将出任监督委员会主席的众议员罗伯特·加西亚（民主党-加利福尼亚州）在一份声明中说：“我们的工作才刚刚开始。”他谴责共和党的报告“基于不完整的调查和零公开听证会”，因为司法部“继续非法扣留超过250万页文件”。民主党人现在正在商讨传唤证人在宣誓下作证，并向多年来帮助资助爱泼斯坦贩运年轻女性和女童的大银行发出传票。
“Our work is just getting started,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming Oversight Committee chair, said in a statement. He decried the GOP report as “based on an incomplete investigation and zero public hearings” as the Justice Department “continues to illegally withhold over 2.5 million pages of documents.”Democrats are now talking about recalling witnesses to testify under oath and issuing subpoenas to major banks that helped finance Epstein’s trafficking of young women and girls for years.
