Congress must declare Trump's war against Iran illegal and begin impeachment proceedings based on his obstruction of the Epstein files release.
Trump campaigned on releasing all Epstein investigative files, then signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring disclosure within 30 days. His Justice Department missed that deadline, released documents in scattered tranches, and continues withholding millions of pages with heavy redactions. This isn't incompetence. It's a cover-up that violates the law Congress passed with bipartisan support.
The Iran war is a transparent distraction from this scandal. Representative Thomas Massie said it plainly on March 1: "bombing a country on the other side of the globe won't make the Epstein files go away." A majority of registered voters oppose this war, and Trump launched it without congressional authorization while his administration stonewalls on Epstein.
Trump once called Epstein a "terrific guy." Now he's using military action to bury evidence about their relationship. The left and right agree this cover-up demands accountability. Congress has the constitutional authority to both declare this war illegal and impeach a president who breaks the law to hide his connections to a sex trafficker. Use it.
