Fmr. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) | 03-01-26

Peter King argues against the legal precedent of forcing a former president to testify before Congress based on unsubstantiated rumors or mere association with a criminal figure. He asserts that compelled testimony in the absence of evidence of criminal conduct risks turning the American political system into a "banana republic" driven by guilt by association rather than actual wrongdoing. King emphasizes that while Jeffrey Epstein’s actions were heinous, the high volume of hearsay and innuendo in investigative files should not be used to disrupt 200 years of historical tradition regarding the treatment of former leaders.
