Washington DC - Congresswoman Lauren Boebert revealed some of the more disturbing things she claims to have seen in the unredacted files on sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
On Wednesday, the Colorado representative shared an X post regarding "terrifying language" within the files, including emails about torture, frequent talk of "consumption", and references to a restaurant called "The Cannibal."
She also claimed: "The women around Epstein were also deeply involved in trafficking children."
In an interview with Newsmax, Boebert insisted that the files suggested there was much more than trafficking going on in Epstein's circle, which used "code words" to hide their crimes.
She clarified The Cannibal is not a restaurant "proclaiming to serve human meat," but noted the owner is listed in the files among recurring discussions about "beef jerky."
The congresswoman went on to say that the emails had a "clear topic" that "torture was a big driver" for Epstein's circle, and claimed women also assisted in the trafficking, seemingly presenting Epstein with girls as young as 9 years old.
"These were very sick people doing very sick things," she added.
Epstein files scandal rumbles on
Boebert's remarks come as President Donald Trump's administration continues to face heavy backlash for not releasing the files in their entirety and unredacted as required by the Epstein Transparency Act, a bipartisan measure that Boebert helped move through Congress.
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice began allowing lawmakers to view a unredacted version of the files, but many have complained that much of the content remained censored, including the names of co-conspirators, while the identities of some victims were left unredacted.
Multiple lawmakers have also accused the DOJ of spying and collecting data on what they have viewed and their search history of the files.
