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.

“Where have you been Megan? I haven’t seen you post since you lost that bet to me on Ukraine!”
I paid it, too, didn’t I?
This may be the only issue where I strongly disagree with Trump.
Let’s go for full disclosure and let the chips fall where they may.
Wolfe and Espstein, on those messages, were conspiring to blackmail Trump. How does that not look good?
The Epstein treasury files? I’m not familiar with those.
They are a key part of the investigation. scott bessent was blocking it but finally relented to House Oversight. Senate Finance Committee has seen some of it under the Biden Administration.
You should not be against investigation into Epsteins financial dealings including the SARs reports .
Sure. Release everything regarding Epstein.
You still here troll
Good grief Charlie Brown. It's the NY Slimes.
How do these two slimes pixies know what PRESIDENT Trump is doing?

Can you imagine that? They don't care.
“I just made a motion to bring it straight to the dadgum floor and they blocked it. They blocked it!”
“I tried to do unanimous consent, tried to get the Epstein files, get it straight to the floor to cut out all this nonsense. And, you know, and the Democrats blocked it oddly enough!”
“Now here they've had it for four years and they, obviously, if there was something there about Trump, they would have released it.”
“This is politics. It has nothing to do with doing what's right!”
“And it's Washington DC to a T. And again, they ought to be ashamed of themselves, but they're probably not.” @timburchett
This is a bad look. Just let them vote.
“It’s going to be an election issue next year if they dont release these damn files.”
Exactly! Now your getting it.
“Care to find and post any video of Trump saying anything about releasing the Epstein list, during his campaign stops? Because I don’t recall...”
***********
Apparently you missed his reply to a question from a Fox reporter in June 2024 asking him if he would release various files, specifically including the Epstein files, to which he responded “Yeah, yeah, I would.”
Fully agree. This kind of issue of spies, bribery and underage sex trafficking? It needs disinfecting sunshine. The era of protecting the players for some nebulous greater good is over in the Information age.
“Let justice be done though the heavens fall” or sometimes “let the truth be told though there heavens fall” quote has been around since the Roman Empire. The alternative would be accepting that our government and business leaders all keep office and respect in a pack of lies and we don’t know which are which.
And good to see you back
“And good to see you back”
Thank you. Nice to see you, too!
