Whitehouse links Russia-Iran intelligence sharing to Epstein DOJ cover-up on Senate floor
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse delivered a 48-minute Senate floor speech publicly connecting Russia's provision of targeting intelligence to Iran with what he called a MAGA DOJ cover-up of the Epstein files. Whitehouse argued that the same pattern of leverage and concealment ran through Trump's relationships with Russia, Epstein, and ongoing DOJ document suppression. The speech went viral, generating millions of views, and the Senator's office published a full transcript and documented timeline on his official Senate website.
