Jeffrey Epstein Continues to Haunt GOP Leaders

Punchbowl News: “It’s Day One of the post-summer session of Congress, and the House Republican leadership is already dealing with the Jeffrey Epstein issue it hoped to leave behind.”

“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced he will file his discharge petition at 2 p.m., forcing the release of the Justice Department’s Epstein files. Members will be able to sign the petition beginning today.”

“If every House Democrat signs – which we expect – just six Republicans would be needed to force a vote on the measure. And that’s practically guaranteed to happen.”

“This would be a big blow to Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republican leadership.”
