‘Enough Evidence On Trump Alone’: Raskin Hints at Major Epstein Investigation After Dems Victory
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:00Raskin says evidence concerning Trump's relationship with Epstein warrants further investigation and criticizes the Justice Department's handling of documents.
- 4:00Asked about another Trump impeachment inquiry, Raskin refuses to predict one but says Democrats are not afraid to act.
- 5:25Raskin argues that lawmakers' constitutional oath requires upholding the law despite political discomfort.
- 7:42He explains that impeachment also applies to cabinet members, then emphasizes the importance of due process.
- 10:16Raskin says restoring healthcare access takes priority over immediately launching a lengthy impeachment process.
Jamie Raskin's answer to the impeachment question comes with a priority: getting people's healthcare back matters more than immediately beginning a drawn-out process.
That distinction emerges near the end of Hook Global's interview excerpt, whose title instead foregrounds his call for further investigation into Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Raskin says the evidence warrants further inquiry and accuses the Justice Department of burying the Epstein files. Those are his assertions, not findings announced in the segment.
Speaking with CNN's Manu Raju at George Washington University's post-election analysis event, the Maryland Democrat refuses to predict whether another impeachment inquiry will follow the Democratic victories. He does not rule one out, either.
"First of all, we're not afraid to impeach Donald Trump. We've impeached him twice already," Raskin says.
His broader argument is that lawmakers' constitutional obligations cannot depend on whether acting would be politically uncomfortable. He also stresses due process and explains that impeachment can apply to cabinet members, not only presidents. But the interview ends with healthcare access taking precedence over launching that process immediately. The segment offers an argument for oversight, rather than an announcement of a new inquiry.
The excerpt's early audience is already far larger than Hook Global's usual first-day audience for regular uploads. It accompanies other widely watched political coverage on the channel: Houston Mayor John Whitmire's restrictions on police contact with ICE, and an older Liz Cheney warning to Republicans that has passed a million views.
A Democratic U.S. representative for Maryland’s 8th congressional district since 2017. He is also an attorney and law professor.
