The controversy surrounding the release of Jeffrey Epstein files continues to intensify as House Republicans find themselves at a crossroads. Speaker Mike Johnson has rejected calls for a vote on the release of the files before September, stating the need for maximum transparency. Despite internal divisions, a significant number of Republicans are aligning with Democrats in demanding Epstein transparency, with some even criticizing Trump for his handling of the matter. As Congress prepares for summer recess, the topic of Epstein looms large, putting GOP leadership under pressure to act. In a twist, Rep. Ro Khanna and others are pushing for full transparency into the Epstein investigation, attempting to rally bipartisan support, while GOP members like Sen. Thom Tillis and Ron Johnson express the urgency of releasing the files. Amid this turmoil, Trump remains resistant to calls for disclosure, creating an unprecedented rift within the party as various factions voice their demands for clarity on the matter.
