In this Media Miss Minute, new names are being added to the list of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s known associates. And Texas residents will soon be able to sue companies that make abortion pills, along with the health care providers who prescribe them.
Media Miss by the left: Epstein investigation expands with new names revealed to House panel
After meeting with some of disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein’s victims this week, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., announced the names of at least six more Epstein associates have been revealed.
Comer said lawmakers would work with victims to “compile a list” of those names.
“We want to know everyone who was in the circle, as well as the people who were victimizing those young girls,” he said.
One of Epstein’s accusers, Lisa Phillips, told reporters survivors will work with prosecutors to privately disclose names of individuals who were “regularly in the Epstein world.”

Media Miss by the right: Texas passes bill allowing people to sue makers, providers of abortion pills
The Texas Senate passed a bill Wednesday that will allow its residents to sue anyone who manufactures, mails or provides abortion pills in the state. The law sets a $100,000 award for successful suits.
The bill now sits on Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk awaiting his signature. Abbott, a Republican and an abortion opponent, is expected to sign it into law.
That law would not take effect until December and will likely face legal challenges before then.
Opponents say it will promote a dangerous kind of vigilantism, while advocates say it protects unborn life.
