  "account": "If Democrats win the midterms, former Prince Andrew may face increased scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers. In July 2025, Trump had dismissed the scandal as a Democrat conspiracy. The U.S. Department of Justice released over 3 million pages of evidence in Jeffrey Epstein's case, but many documents were redacted and withheld. British police would require access to these unreleased documents to use them as evidence against the former prince. Democrats could push for more redactions to be removed and for the original documents to be released to British detectives. A Democrat-dominated Congress might subpoena the documents and conduct hearings, potentially without the need for a new law. However, Rahmani suggested that Democrat priorities may currently be focused on other issues, such as Medicaid cuts and Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, cuts.",
