Washington, D.C.—Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corporation Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer, and Fox News Media Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Scott regarding Fox News’s deceptive editing of an interview with President Trump regarding the criminal investigation into his longtime friend, convicted sex offender, and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.  Ranking Member Garcia is demanding to know if President Trump or his presidential campaign were involved in Fox News’s decision to edit the interview.  This comes after Elon Musk’s allegations that the Department of Justice has not released additional evidence in the Epstein prosecution because President Trump is implicated in the files.
