EPISODE 500! Rep. James Walkinshaw on Epstein, Bondi, Iran, Hegseth, the Economy, Redistricting, and the Midterms

from The Back Room with Andy Ostroy · host Radio Free Rhinecliff and Andy Ostroy

Congressman James Walkinshaw represents Virginia’s 11th Congressional District. He serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and its Military and Foreign Affairs Subcommittee, focusing on protecting the nonpartisan civil service, supporting fair pay for federal employees, and holding the Administration accountable. He also serves on the House Homeland Security Committee and both its Subcommittees on Homeland Border Security & Enforcement, and Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Protection. The Congressman and I discuss the Epstein scandal and the upcoming May 29 Pam Bondi testimony before the House Oversight Committee; the economy, redistricting and the November midterms; and the Iran war, Sec Def Pete Hegseth, and his 'performance' last week before the House and Senate.
