Lawmakers Threaten Action Over Epstein Files Delay

Two members of the US Congress have warned that they may take legal action against Attorney General Pam Bondi after the government failed to fully release files linked to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Department of Justice (DoJ) had been expected to publish all documents connected to its investigations into Epstein by a set deadline. While some records were made public, large portions were redacted and others were withheld, falling short of what lawmakers and campaigners had demanded. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a prominent advocate for full disclosure, said the limited release could lead to contempt proceedings against Bondi. He accused the justice department of ignoring both the intent and the requirements of the law. The DoJ has rejected these claims, maintaining that it is meeting its legal duties. Bondi has also defended the administration’s […]

US lawmakers meet on rising violence in Nigeria

United States lawmakers have held a bipartisan meeting to discuss the escalating violence in Nigeria and explore possible policy responses to rising insecurity in the country.​ Members of Congress reviewed recent attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and assaults on religious and ethnic communities, expressing concern over the growing humanitarian impact and regional instability.​ The discussions covered how the US could support Nigeria through security cooperation, humanitarian aid, and stronger advocacy for human rights, accountability, and protection of vulnerable groups.​ Some lawmakers pushed for closer scrutiny of how security assistance is used, calling for safeguards to ensure that military and police forces respect human rights and are held responsible for abuses.​ They also highlighted the need to address root causes of violence, such as poverty, weak governance, corruption, and climate-related pressures that fuel conflicts between farmers and herders.​ The meeting ended with […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]

US Congress Launches Sweeping Investigation into Nigeria’s Alleged Christian Genocide

The United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa will convene a public hearing on November 20, 2025, to investigate allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria and review President Donald Trump’s move to redesignate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC). This label, pending Senate approval, could authorize sanctions against Nigerian officials implicated in religious repression and restrict certain US-Nigeria partnerships. Chaired by Representative Chris Smith, the session features panels of senior US State Department officials and Nigerian faith leaders, including Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of Makurdi Catholic Diocese. Testimonies will address rising attacks on Christian communities, mass displacement, and killings attributed to Islamist militants and armed groups. President Tinubu has firmly rejected the genocide characterization, asserting Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, while US lawmakers weigh options ranging from humanitarian aid to sanctions and potential military action. The investigation was […]

US Congress seeks visa bans, asset freezes on Miyetti Allah

A new bill introduced in the United States Congress seeks to impose visa bans and asset freezes on members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over alleged violations of religious freedom against Christians in Nigeria. The bill, sponsored by Representative Christopher Smith, follows the U.S. re-designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act — a status given to countries accused of serious violations of religious freedom. Smith praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the decision, which came amid growing tensions between Washington and Abuja over allegations of religious persecution. The Nigerian Federal Government, however, dismissed any panic, saying it has opened diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to address the concerns. Information Minister Mohammed Idris said after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting that Nigeria […]

US Congress Releases 33,000 Epstein Files, But No Client List

A US congressional panel has published more than 33,000 pages of documents from the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, including flight logs, jail surveillance videos, court filings, emails, and recordings. The release, ordered by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, comes after pressure from both Republicans and Democrats for greater transparency. Despite the scale of the release, lawmakers admitted the files add little new information. Democrats said that 97% of the material was already public, with no sign of the long-rumoured Epstein client list. Republicans also acknowledged the absence of significant revelations, raising fresh questions about whether the Justice Department is withholding records. Among the new files is 13 hours of footage from Epstein’s New York jail the night he died in August 2019. The release fills a previously unexplained “missing minute” in the video, which authorities say was the […]
