Trump Won’t Be Able to Stop Vote on Epstein Files

“Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) discharge petition on releasing the Epstein files is all but certain to force a House vote by the end of this month — even if no additional Republicans sign on,” Axios reports.

“That’s bad news for many House Republicans, who are torn between their base’s demand for transparency around the Epstein case and President Trump’s insistence that the matter be dropped.”

“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has also publicly opposed the discharge petition, which would undermine his control of the floor.”
