But after a handful of Republicans temporarily stalled the $9 billion rescissions package last week over the Epstein issue, Speaker Mike Johnson does not appear likely to entertain further consideration of the matter before setting the House free on a five-week recess that stretches past Labor Day.

President Donald Trump called U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie the "worst Republican Congressman" as the Kentucky lawmaker tries to make Epstein files public.

Representative Ted Lieu said “Trump is all over the Epstein files.” He called the Republican lawmakers’ move “a coverup of epic proportions.”

Federal judges responded to a request from the attorney general to release grand jury transcripts from cases against Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Johnson said he wouldn’t allow a vote on a measure calling on the White House to release all the files until after Labor Day at the earliest to give President Trump “space” to release some

House Republicans are pointing fingers at the Trump administration, Democrats and each other over the continued fallout from Jeffrey Epstein's case.
