House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia is calling for Chairman Comer to "release the full, unedited transcript" of ex-Trump AG Bill Barr's closed-door deposition on the Epstein case because, according to Garcia, "Barr would not clear President Trump of wrongdoing."

Trump's late ex wife Ivana rode around with Maxwell to get phone numbers of young girls she thought Epstein would like. And to refresh our memories Ivana "fell" down her stairs, was cremated but had a casket & was buried at the first hole at Trump's NJ golf course. All normal stuff.

Barr didn't say anything 'incriminating' regarding Trump/Epstein either ...
(at least as far as our knowledge and/or any indication to this point)

You probably remember the aftermath of Chump losing the 2020 election and Barr refused to say that the election was rigged. Also he had no interest in helping Chump steal the Presidency from Biden in the January 6th coup attempt. Once Chump figured out Barr wasn't going to help him, he fired Barr and it was already mid-December by then.

They didn't end well, Chump and Barr. And Bill hasn't had any flattering things to say about Chump since then either. I keep hoping Barr writes a book, but I think it would have come out already if he were planning to do it.
