US Lawmaker Demands Probe Into Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Role as Israeli Foreign Agent

Jamie Raskin, a senior Democratic member of the US House Judiciary Committee, has formally requested the Trump administration to investigate claims that Jeffrey Epstein acted as a foreign agent for Israel and other countries. Documents presented to the committee detail Epstein's connections with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Raskin stated that these documents indicate Epstein aggressively worked on behalf of multiple foreign governments to influence US policy. Additionally, about a week ago, US Vice President J.D. Vance said in an interview that Epstein "clearly had ties to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence." The investigation aims to clarify the extent of Epstein's influence and foreign affiliations within the US government.
