In a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly.
..... Snip.....
Here are the names of the U.S. Representatives who voted “No” to releasing the Epstein files:
Virginia Foxx (R-NC) Nick Langworthy (R-NY) Austin Scott (R-GA) Morgan Griffith (R-VA) Brian Jack (R-GA) Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) Erin Houchin (R-IN)

What do you think this means? /s
Who knew Epstein was on our side?
Probably their names are on the list!
Wow this is so interesting. When dems were in power they blocked it. Now the GOP is in power and they blocked it.
I thought the Democrats were opposed to releasing the Epstein files. Why have they had such a change of heart on this?
The truth will set you free!
Tell the truth and the voters will say get out!
I’m contra on this issue. There is no way that ALL Epstein files should be released. People who are encouraging such a release obviously have no familiarity with law enforcement investigations or they don’t give a flip about injuring innocent witnesses/victims. There were probably hundreds of people who were interviewed, and likely 99% of these individuals are innocent or were victims. I do believe that more information CAN be released without doing collateral damage, but his has to be done carefully. They should start with the interview with Alex Acosta.
Macho-could be Trump setting a trap.
They’re siding with Trump, whatever that means, on this particular issue.
It is causing trouble for Trump and supposed flip-flops on it. That is why the Democrats are “for” transparency now.
Same thing here. Trump's intransigence on the Epstein files are going to compel Democrats to force their release out of pure spite.
And it's gonna be Democrats who get burned.
Bad move by The Stupid Party.
The idiots at Justice could have explained that, instead they changed their story 10x and have completely lost control of the narrative.
Trump may have a very good reason for not releasing, like the ones you stated. He should not have had that retard do nothing Blondi as the front person.
Of course they should block it. The hypocrats had plenty of opportunity to release these files during the Biden administration, but didn’t. They are just pushing this now to try getting a ‘win’ against Trump. If these files are to be released it should be by the Trump administration, with zero hypocrat involvement.
Well said. Note this is in the Rules Committee and the SOTH can always outvote and take the matter to the floor. It is characterized as an amendment by Khanna - what was the underlying bill? Perhaps that is what garnered the negative reception. GOP refusing to change the underlying bill?
Lara Trump announced on Monday afternoon that all would be released, where proper and possible, soon. Seems like a dog without a fight.

Don’t buy into the misinformation campaign. The bill released everything - including all the child porn videos.
Maybe he was a triple agent pretending to be a double agent.
Or maybe he was just child molester who kept a very complete visitors log.
Why?
Wow this is so interesting. When dems were in power they blocked it. Now the GOP is in power and they blocked it.

That suggests it’s all theater
These guys are all colluding (conspiring) to block the release, and they are taking turns playing bad cop over the years.
