Trump's Russiagate Case Opens Again, Former US Judiciary Judge Values The Transfer Of Jeffrey Epstein's Case

JAKARTA - A former senior official of the United States Department of Justice (US) criticized the move by US Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation into Russiagate's alleged case addressed to Donald Trump.

Officials requesting anonymity reported to NBC News, Tuesday, August 5, that the US Attorney General was playing a "dangerous political action" by reopening the alleged defamation case.

"There is no logical and rational basis for this," the official said.

Russiagate is the mention of Trump's campaign team accused by US 44th President Barack Obama, including Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, colluding with the Russian Government in the 2016 US Election contestation.

On the one hand, Democratic lawmakers accuse the US Government under the leadership of Donald Trump of trying to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Epstein died six years ago. He is a wealthy businessman and convicted of sexual crimes on charges of sex trafficking against women and a 14-year-old young girl.

The pressure to uncover Epstein's case got stronger in the Trump administration era for the second term after not releasing Epstein's file. On the one hand, Trump's relationship with Epstein got a sharp spotlight.

conservative media and US influencers criticized the way Trump, US Attorney General, and FBI Director Kash Patel handled the Epstein case and demanded the release of more documents.

In Russiagate's case, a bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2020 denied any alleged defamation case that left Trump a victim because he was accused of conspiracy with Russia in the 2016 US elections.

Senator Marco Rubio, Republican from Florida, who at the time served as committee chairman, signed the bipartisan report.
