Michigan House Speaker strips Dem of committees after Epstein press conference
Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Township) stripped Democratic lawmaker Penelope Tsernoglou (D-East Lansing) of her committee assignments after she called for an investigation into notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsteins ties to a Michigan boarding school.
Tsernoglou revealed the news in a video posted to her social media accounts on Wednesday. Despite being reprimanded, Tsernoglou reiterated her support for Epsteins victims and accused Hall of trying to silence her.
Halls decision came one day after Tsernoglou held a press conference urging the Republican majority in the Michigan House of Representatives to pass a pair of resolutions related to Epsteins sex trafficking operation.
- HR 258: A resolution calling on Congress to investigate all of the individuals implicated in the Epstein files and compel them to testify under oath.
- HR 284: A resolution to create a select committee to examine the Interlochen Center for the Arts and its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
