Democratic lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee accused the Department of Justice (DoJ) of being in “full cover-up mode” following the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Congressman Jamie Raskin, the committee’s ranking member, argued that the indictment serves President Trump’s interests and reflects a politicization of the DOJ. He emphasized a bipartisan push for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, stating, “Stop the cover-up of the Epstein files.”

In related news, nineteen detainees at an ICE processing center in Louisiana have entered their fifth day of a hunger strike, demanding better access to medical care and basic necessities. Advocacy groups report the detainees are lacking medical supplies and other essentials.

Legal observers warn that this trend may undermine the principles of impartiality and justice in the U.S.
