Since we broke that news here, early this morning, the White House has been in damage-control mode, including a top-level meeting that happened inside the Situation Room."
"Yes, the national security nerve center, where officials once monitored the bin Laden raid, was used today as part of a pressure campaign to block the release of the Epstein files in the possession of the Department of Justice.

Republicans released tens of thousands of additional documents and emails with further revelations. White House officials convened a top-level meeting in the Situation Room that aimed to persuade Rep. Lauren Boebert to abandon efforts to force release of Epstein-related Department of Justice files.

Cameras observed Attorney General Pam Bondi leaving the White House after the meeting that included the FBI director and Boebert. The pressure campaign ultimately failed to block the document release.
