💨 Abstract

House Speaker Mike Johnson will not allow votes on Jeffrey Epstein-related issues before the August recess, despite pressure from some Republican members to address the topic. Thomas Massie is pushing for a vote on a bill requesting more Epstein files disclosures, seeking sign-off from the majority—218 members. Ten Republicans and all Democrats supporting this could force a vote post-Labor Day. Johnson, however, supports Trump’s stance, who wants the materials handled judicially.
