Blackburn Announces Subpoena For Jeffrey Epstein’s Flight Logs

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has issued a subpoena for the flight logs of disgraced financier and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane.

Blackburn made the announcement during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, declaring: “Since we’re in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more that I’ve filed: a subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane.”

She went on to point out that the allegations of child trafficking against Epstein have led to the conclusion that many who flew on his private plane were likely complicit, noting that she believes “it is very important that we identify everybody that was on that plane, and how many trips they took on that plane, and the destinations to which they arrived.”

Epstein died under suspicious circumstances in prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls. While the official cause of death was suicide, there were several concerning issues surrounding his death — including the fact that he was supposed to be on suicide watch, the guards both fell asleep at the same time during the incident and the cameras mysteriously stopped working. At the time, Epstein’s lawyers rejected the medical examiner’s ruling of suicide due to these suspicious circumstances — and many Americans continue to believe that Epstein was murdered.

Since his death, many on both sides of the aisle have demanded the release of his flight logs, as well as his “black book” of clients that allegedly participated in his illegal activities — as it has been speculated that Epstein gained much of his wealth by blackmailing those who used his alleged child trafficking services.

Many have further alleged that the list was never released because the names of many high-ranking officials within the federal government are likely on it. One individual with confirmed ties to Epstein is former President Bill Clinton, who invited the alleged child trafficker to the White House on numerous occasions. Clinton is also confirmed to have flown on Epstein’s plane at least 26 times.

Americans have demanded to know the rest of the names on the list, though Blackburn’s subpoena is one of the first times that a member of the federal government has taken any substantial action toward that goal.

Social media users celebrated Blackburn’s announcement, though many are questioning how much opposition she will run into during her efforts.

“Marsha Blackburn just filed a subpoena to get the Epstein flight logs. How is that anyone could stand against releasing these logs unless they themselves are expecting to be found on them?” asked Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
