The "Epstein Shutdown" | Rep. Eric Swalwell

The "Epstein Shutdown" | Rep. Eric Swalwell

Donald Trump wants to be king... and Rep. Eric Swalwell is leading the opposition. In this conversation with Marc Elias, Swalwell sounds the alarm on Trump’s growing attempts to weaponize government power — from deploying the military in U.S. cities to shutting down Congress and blocking the release of Epstein files — all as part of a strategy to protect himself and undermine American democracy ahead of the 2026 election.
