Robert Garcia on the Epstein Files and Working with Anti-Gay Lawmakers

Rep. Robert Garcia, a Democrat who serves as the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, has been at the forefront of Congress’ investigation into the Epstein files. He joined NOTUS’ Reese Gorman shortly after viewing the unredacted files at the DOJ and talked about people named in the files the committee wants to hear from — Bill Gates and Steve Bannon in particular. He also talked about being an openly gay member of Congress and what it’s like working with lawmakers who have anti-LGBTQ views.
