Turmoil in the US House Over Epstein Files Leads to Early Recess

The US House of Representatives has been engulfed in chaos over the handling of Epstein files, resulting in Speaker Mike Johnson shutting down the chamber early for the summer recess. This decision comes amid intense political battles, with Republicans blocking votes on the release of Epstein-related documents and facing criticism from Democrats like Nancy Pelosi for avoiding transparency. The House has ground to a standstill, with many Republicans expressing frustration over the lack of action. There are also emerging calls within the GOP for greater transparency on the Epstein investigation, as the drama surrounding this issue continues to dominate discussions in Congress.
