Epstein Files Vote Faces GOP Block | JQJO

Congressional Republicans and White House allies are attempting to block a House floor vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein case files. Reps. Massie and Khanna have reportedly secured the 218 signatures needed to force a vote, leveraging support from both Democrats and some Republicans, including Trump allies. GOP leaders are now pressuring signatories to withdraw, citing concerns about protecting victims' information and the ongoing Oversight Committee investigation. Previous attempts to quash similar petitions have failed, and the Rules Committee reportedly won't assist this time, leaving the fate of the vote uncertain despite the Senate hurdle.
