Later that day at 18:19 UTC, she commented on recent developments involving Larry Summers and ongoing investigations related to Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. Jayapal stated: “Another high-profile resignation today of Larry Summers. This is movement — and there must also be full investigations into those in Epstein’s circle — what they knew and when they knew it. It’s time for full accountability.”

At 19:03 UTC, Jayapal criticized former President Donald Trump regarding his administration’s Department of Homeland Security policies. She posted: “Donald Trump is the one who should be ashamed for the actions of his DHS — terrorizing US communities.”
