The House will not vote on a resolution calling for the release of some documents related to Jeffrey Epstein before the August recess, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on Monday, despite growing GOP outcry over the Trump administration’s handling of the case.

The news came after the House Rules Committee advanced the measure last week, and as the lower chamber prepares to break for the weeks-long August recess on Thursday.

Asked if the House will vote on the resolution before leaving Washington, Johnson told reporters: “No.”

The Speaker said he wants to leave time for the administration to act on the matter before moving ahead with congressional action....

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Oh great.... Massie is still pushing his version which is binding...

But unfortunately they need 7 days for the petition (I think) and only got 6

It's crazy they're going to punt this?

Five weeks? They have 9 weeks to get the budget passed and they vacation for 5 of them?

Re: "Reminder...Biden had 4 years to release everything related to Epstein."

One more reminder...

Epstein was released from jail - after an alleged sweet heart deal - in 2009, when Obama was President.

Obama had 8 years to release everything.

Congress sure takes long breaks after months of not doing anything.

Every Deep State on the planet let Epstein do what he did for over decade.

Be careful what you wish for, Deep States...

I think that's what every Republican should be screaming....

Why didn't Obama and Biden release the records.

Naming names is only speculation...

Johnson knows this will be a backburner issue unless, unless, unless the Democrats demand it which is exactly what the POTUS wants.

Then the Epstein file spigot shall be opened. Dershowitz, what say you?

There is an Epstein Treasury file . Biden allowed partial access. What they found leads to the need for more access. Trump blocking it

Now we find out that Bondi is looking to cut a deal with maxwell..what will happen?

I can predict. Can you?

Maxwell about to provide cover for all of it after she made it public that she was documenting everything. That was the threat. Bondi now rushing to her.

Nope

Simple questions. Suppose the information is released and it all what you fantasy it is.

What going to happen next?

Nothing is what happens next.

You all have worked yourself up into this imaginary bubble world where you think Epstein’s list is going to be the magic silver bullet where you finally get all the people you hate in politics.’

It won’t

Law doesn’t work like you wanna be lynch mobbers in Conservative Inc thinks it does. Being on a list is not a crime. You have to build cases against each and everyone on the list and prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that they are guilty of crimes.

As we saw in the Diddy case, rich people buy their way out of prison with high priced legal teams.

So Conservating Inc worked itself up into hysterics about something that is going to be completely meaningless in the end.

Re: "The deal happened under the Bush administration"

I thought that was obvious.

I wrote about the early Epstein release and complete lack of follow up by Barack Obama.

Virginia Giuffre did not sue Prince Andrew until 18 years AFTER she was allegedly trafficked.
