President Trump and his administration on Wednesday ramped up a pressure campaign on congressional Republicans who are pushing for a full release of the Justice Department’s files about the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, rushing to head off a House vote on the matter.
Top officials met in the White House Situation Room on Wednesday with Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is backing an effort to force a House vote on whether to demand the release of the files.
She was summoned to sit down with top Justice Department and F.B.I. officials, according to two people familiar with the matter. One of the people said the session included Attorney General Pam Bondi and F.B.I. Director Kash Patel. Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the private discussions.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, confirmed that the meeting had taken place, calling it an example of “transparency” and how administration officials “are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns.”
Ms. Boebert is one of three Republican women in the House who have signed on to a petition aimed at forcing a vote on a bill demanding that the Justice Department release all of its investigative files on Mr. Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019.

It’s the NYT Mr. Gullible.
“Some said” “Sources familiar” blah blah
Its been confirmed did you read it all
“Good grief he’s going to some lengths to stop this vote.”
Who is he protecting?
I can’t wait until 2039 when we finally stop hearing about epstein.
Friends and past donors
It’s going to be an election issue next year if they dont release these damn files
It’s going to be an election issue next year if they dont release these damn files
Not a good look.
It’s just a guess but what else
If you’ve got blackmail information on dozens or hundreds of politicians, you’d try to stop the publication of it as well.
For once, you may be right.
Bullcrap.
Yeah keep following NYT spin. Not.
Trump campaigned on releasing the files. It’s a major reason why I voted for him. There’s absolutely no excuse now. They need to be released and the pedos exposed. It’s already known that there’s nothing damaging to Trump in them.
It would unravel the intelligence connection. I have no doubt he laundered money.
Something pretty powerful is being covered up. Trump is willing to look guilty by pushing for the coverup in order to cover it up. I doubt it is for just one person.
He is willing to coverup for whatever Dems are connected as well .
The more he tries to cover it up the worse he looks . Dems will seize on it.
It is pretty clear US and Israel are implicated. UK likely as well. cindy McCain’s comment makes it seem this was well known in certain circles.
Desantis or supporters have nothing to do with these
Paul Cultists and Dem plants posting this tired dated story .
It took over 60 years to confirm, based on JFK family hired doctors, that JFK was hit three times, one from behind, two from the front. That has been long enough so that nobody cares.
An English WWII hero just figured out his friends wasted their lives fighting and dying for England.
