"A congressional vote on whether to release the full Department of Justice (DOJ) files relating to the investigation into accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will likely take place next week. The scheduled vote comes as several emails from Epstein, provided by his estate following a subpoena from House Oversight Committee Democrats, reveal disturbing details about Trump's relationship with Epstein, and raise the possibility that the two were still meeting as late as November 2017."
"On Wednesday, shortly after being sworn into office, Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Arizona) became the 218th person to sign a discharge petition demanding a vote on releasing the files. Hers was the final signature needed to compel Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to schedule the vote. The vote could technically be delayed, using parliamentary rules available to Johnson, until December."
A congressional vote on whether to release the full Department of Justice files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation will likely take place next week. Emails from Epstein, provided by his estate after a subpoena from House Oversight Committee Democrats, reveal disturbing details about Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein and suggest the two might have met as late as November 2017. Rep. Adelita Grijalva became the 218th signer of a discharge petition, providing the final signature needed to compel Speaker Mike Johnson to schedule the vote. Johnson said he would put the measure on the floor when lawmakers return next week. The legislation has limited bipartisan support, with four Republicans joining Democrats, while most Republicans oppose release. Parliamentary rules could allow a delay until December.
