During a recent Appropriations Committee hearing, Republican Congressman Hal Rogers from Kentucky faced backlash after he repeatedly interrupted Democratic Congresswoman Madeleine Dean from Pennsylvania. Dean was trying to question Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the handling of the Epstein files. Rogers asserted that Dean's questioning time had expired, even though she had only begun her inquiries. Despite Dean's insistence that she was cut off prematurely, Rogers remained firm and did not allow her to continue. This incident drew significant criticism from political analysts and commentators online, with some labeling Rogers' actions as an example of a cover-up regarding the Epstein case. Liberal political outlet The Tennessee Holler remarked on social media about the situation, and Rep. Yassamin Ansari expressed her outrage by calling it an egregious cover-up in American history. The incident raises concerns about transparency and accountability in government, particularly regarding sensitive topics such as the Epstein files.
