Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz called out the Democrats allegedly behind blocking deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s flight log list Tuesday on Fox News, stating they are “freaking out” from Republicans pushing to obtain the information.
Cruz appeared on “Hannity” to discuss a slew of topics, including the push from GOP Congress members to reveal Epstein’s full flight logs. Fox host Sean Hannity asked the Texas senator why the Judiciary Committee Chairman and Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin would be “unwilling” to hand over the logs.
Crus responded by stating although Durbin claimed to not have known “anything” regarding the issue, he pointed out the Illinois senator was in fact at the hearings.

FASTER, PLEASE: We May Be One Step Closer to Seeing Jeffrey Epstein’s Flight Logs.
I’m sure many of us have given up on the idea that the flight logs to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private island will ever see the light of day because of the powerful people whose names are allegedly on the list. Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has received a request to subpoena Epstein’s flight logs.
“As you are aware, there have been unanswered questions surrounding the sex trafficking ring spearheaded by the late Jeffrey Epstein. We know that Epstein and his associates engaged in child sex trafficking to the rich and powerful elite from around the globe. Many of Epstein’s clients are alleged to be some of America’s most powerful and well-known people,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) wrote in a letter to Comer dated Monday.
The letter continued:
Recently, Senate Democrats blocked an effort by my colleague, Senator Marsha Blackburn, to subpoena the flight logs associated with Epstein’s private plane. The American people have a right to know who took part in Epstein’s disgusting business that ruined so many lives. More importantly, their victims deserve justice and accountability.
It is my hope that the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability can provide the accountability Senate Democrats refuse to pursue. To that end, I respectfully request that you subpoena flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane, as well as any other documents you deem appropriate and necessary to determine who are among the scumbags Epstein counted as clients and highlight any who are or previously were government officials.
If you or your staff have any questions about this request, please contact my office.
