“It’s like all sex crimes in Congress are Republicans” That’s because they mostly are. Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina (Republican) was accused in August 2020 by several women, of sexually sexual misconduct and sexual assault. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida (Republican) allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl in 2019 in March 2021, The New York Times reported that Gaetz was being investigated by the Department of Justice. Rep. Tom Reed of New York (Republican) was accused by a lobbyist of sexual harassment on 3-19-21 for an incident at a bar. In a statement made on 3-21-21, he apologized to his accuser and said he would not seek re-election. On 3-10-22, he announced his resignation on the House floor effective immediately. During his second presidency, Trump was publicly accused by Elon Musk of being listed in the client list of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite having previously promised to release the files, Trump declared the files did not actually exist. This was met with widespread skepticism from both the left and right, as well as speculation that the files were being covered up because they included information that could potentially incriminate Trump in sex crimes. The Justice Department confirmed in May 2025 that Trump was mentioned by name multiple times in the Epstein files. In November 2025 a set of emails from Epstein were released, one of which suggested that Epstein believed that Trump knew more about his abuse than Trump had acknowledged. In the email, Epstein states: "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." In another email, Epstein stated that Trump had "spent hours" with one of the victims. The victim was identified by Committee Republicans as Virginia Giuffre, who later killed herself. An NPR investigation found that the Justice Department withheld and removed dozens of pages from the public Epstein files database including FBI interview records tied to two women who accused Trump of sexual abuse when they were minors. Trump was also accused of rape by his own wife and adjudicated as a rapist in the E, Jean Carroll case.
