Sen. Blackburn Calls for Subpoena of Epstein's Flight Logs
Demand made during Senate Judiciary Committee hearing halted due to Republican resistance; no evidence yet of illegal activity by plane passengers.
- Sen. Marsha Blackburn has called for the Senate Judiciary Committee to issue a subpoena against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, aiming to obtain a list of passengers that traveled aboard Epstein's infamous plane, known as the 'Lolita Express'.
- Blackburn's demand was made during a Senate hearing related to the authorization of subpoenas for Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, which she described as a 'charade'.
- The hearing was halted with no subpoenas authorized, following Blackburn's demand and resistance from other Republicans on the panel to the Supreme Court summons.
- Epstein's private jet was allegedly used to transport underage girls around the world and to his private island in the Caribbean. Notable figures, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, have reportedly been passengers on the plane.
- Despite the allegations surrounding Epstein's activities, there is currently no evidence to suggest that any passengers aboard Epstein's plane engaged in illegal activity.
