Trump Ramps Up Pressure on G.O.P. to Thwart Epstein Vote
New York Times / Pay Wall ^ | Nov 12 | By Annie Karni and Devlin Barrett

Posted on 11/12/2025 2:20:45 PM PST by RandFan

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.

Desantis or supporters have nothing to do with these

Oh yes they do. A strong majority of those posting this crap and supporting this crap were very vocal supporters of DeSantis during the primaries.

Didnt the GOP just today release another 25,000 Epstein files, so if he’s trying to stop the release he’s doing a really lousy job at it

It sure seems like POTUS is protecting someone...might be a representative of another country - I read something about an Israeli but who knows if it’s true.

Trump keeps stepping on these land minds and blowing his legs off.. He is either protecting himself or some of his rich friends or both who might turn on him...Needless to say he has had a bad few weeks and not getting any better as his polls are in the tank.

“Trump campaigned on releasing the files. It’s a major reason why I voted for him. There’s absolutely no excuse now.”

Fair enough. Let the chips fall where they may, domestically and internationally.

It will bring down a big house of cards.
May even destablize a few governments.
A whirlwind is coming.

Yes, the amount of DC shucking and jiving going on knowing full well how bad it looks to do it, says to me it is pretty bad.

Maybe worse than the stuff that came out in the CIA Family Jewels.

What is the reason you don’t want an investigation into the Epstein treasury files?
