“House Republicans have virtually stopped work on all major legislation leading up to their six-week summer recess to avoid taking votes on forcing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files,” Axios reports.
“Democrats have been using every opportunity to force their GOP colleagues on the record about Epstein as President Trump pressures them to make the issue go away.”
Punchbowl News: “Speaker Mike Johnson may as well send the House home today. In fact, they probably should’ve taken the week off.”
CNN: Johnson shuts door on House vote before September on releasing Epstein files.
