A key congressional supporter of President Donald Trump in Arizona has called on the U.S. government for greater transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Republican Congressman Eli Crane has cast doubt on what happened to Epstein the night he died in prison in 2019. Crane questioned whether the disgraced financier died by suicide, as FBI investigators concluded.
Crane was asked if he supported releasing the full, unredacted case file on Epstein during a digital townhall he held Tuesday evening from Washington, D.C.
"I believe transparency should be the hallmark of every administration whether they’re Democrat or Republican," Crane said.
Crane is a member of the Freedom Caucus and an ardent supporter of the president. Still, he says he signed on to Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie’s bipartisan resolution last week demanding the release of the Justice Department’s files.
