Cory Booker SLAMS GOP Cover-Up of Epstein Files. - Liberal Lens



Senator Cory Booker just went head-to-head with Senator John Cornyn over the Epstein files — and what unfolded should alarm every American. Booker called out Cornyn for slipping in an amendment designed to shield the truth, effectively blocking the public from learning what’s inside one of the most explosive scandals in recent history.

Cornyn insisted it was just a “distraction,” but let’s be real: this is how power protects itself. When the powerful are at risk, suddenly transparency is “inconvenient.” Lindsey Graham even tried to smooth things over, but compromise here meant one thing — the truth gets delayed, again.

This isn’t just about Jeffrey Epstein. It’s about accountability. It’s about whether the American people have a right to know who abused their power, who looked the other way, and who continues to cover it up. Booker tried to shine sunlight on the corruption. Cornyn slammed the door shut.

We can’t let them bury this story. If you believe in transparency, if you believe in justice, keep asking questions, keep demanding answers, and keep the pressure on your elected officials. Silence only serves the cover-up.
