Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes and a group of Democratic members of Congress are asking for an independent review of the Epstein case files to determine whether any of the records have been “tampered” with or concealed, ahead of the release of those files by next week.

In a letter Thursday to the Justice Department’s inspector general, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the internal watchdog to undertake a formal review to check for any “chain of custody” problems with the Epstein files.

    I came to that same realization a while ago and it’s super depressing. Like, we have already hit a point where the truth matters so little. No one will accept evidence unless it comes from their in group. Everything else is fake. Confirmation bias is rampant and I don’t see our dismal education standards turning that around any time soon.
