CCRKBA: Bloomberg ‘Come Clean’ About Epstein

BELLEVUE, WA – Following revelations that billionaire gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg was “part of the circle of powerful men” that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell “traveled in,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is demanding that Everytown for Gun Safety take no more money from him pending full disclosure of the relationship.

A revealing report at The Reload, based on an analysis of newly released Epstein files, shows Bloomberg’s name is “mentioned repeatedly.” As reported by editor Stephen Gutowski, “While most mentions of his name are references to his news company’s reporting or other non-personal contexts, many of the emails that discuss him reveal a more personal connection to both Epstein and…Maxwell.”

CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said Bloomberg, the former New York mayor who co-founded Everytown and has contributed millions of dollars to gun prohibition efforts, must tell all. He noted The Reload’s acknowledgement that “emails (in the released files) don’t reveal evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Bloomberg or confirm how often he actually attended events with Epstein or Maxwell.”

“Here’s a man who has spent millions of dollars supporting efforts to erode Second Amendment rights,” Gottlieb observed. “He needs to be completely transparent regarding his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, and in the meantime, Everytown should not take a penny from him, even though he is one of the group’s founders. 

“It is alarming to learn Bloomberg’s name shows up at all in the released files,” he continued, “and that’s enough to warrant an explanation from Bloomberg. If there’s nothing to hide, Bloomberg shouldn’t be worried about clearing the air. The time to do that is right now. After all, he has advocated for so-called ‘expanded background checks’ on gun buyers for years. Maybe he’s the one who should face a thorough background check.

“Stephen Gutowski has done a remarkable bit of investigative journalism,” Gottlieb added, “justifiably raising questions which deserve answers. You can be certain that if the names of prominent gun rights advocates showed up in Epstein’s files, the legacy media would be all over that story. Come clean, Mr. Bloomberg.”

With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.
