Alternet - House Republicans have orchestrated a deliberate strategy to avoid formal hearings on the Epstein investigation by replacing them with informal roundtable discussions, according to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. According to Politico, the shift coincides with a spike in Democratic subpoena motions aimed at forcing testimony related to the investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.
....Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) inadvertently revealed the reasoning behind the shift during a March subcommittee roundtable on mental health issues.
"It's no secret why we are not doing a formal hearing today," Grothman said. "We'd like this hearing to be solely focused on the issue before you, and there is some concern that — both parties are guilty of this — that they make motions in the middle of the hearing and try to bring up unrelated topics."
The statement suggests Republicans are using roundtables — which operate without formal procedures — to prevent Democrats from raising Epstein-related questions during committee proceedings.
