A lone Republican has risked President Donald Trump's ire after voting with Democrats in a bid to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.
California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna pushed an amendment to upcoming crypto legislation that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all Epstein-related documents.
Bondi would have to share the files on a 'publicly accessible website' within 30 days of passage.
However, the effort was foiled, failing five to seven, during a Monday night vote by the House Rules Committee, a group of lawmakers that generally sign off on legislation before it gets a final vote on the House floor.
The sensational files, which Trump promised to release while campaigning, will remain under lock and key at the Justice Department - for now.
The president, if he's caught wind of the nail-bitting legislative maneuver, may be unhappy with how close this effort was to succeeding as he and his Cabinet members have worked to delegitimize calls for transparency in the high-profile case.
South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman, a conservative member of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) and a member who, at times, ruffles GOP leadership's feathers, stunningly sided with Democrats to release the file.

Clearly, there are Epstein files...and to call them a Dem hoax sounds like the Dems creating their own “Russian hoax”.
We have no idea what is there—it could a messy mixture of real stuff and fake stuff.
The problem is—regardless of what it is—there is no way to settle the matter without a lot of disclosure and analysis.
As far as JFK is concerned, I believe files have been released. I've watched a couple analysis of new documents, which confirmed that Oswald did have CIA contacts (but he lived in the Soviet Union, after all) and raised some more questions about the agent who "handled" him.
But after 60+ years, there probably isn't much left of significance. Anything directly incriminating would have never go onto paper anyway, and probably a lot of files "went missing"
Sorry...but the public record is quite clear - there is a mountain of files, evidence, etc.
But what’s really galling is POTUS telling us to shut up and the files are a hoax is pure, unadulterated BullShite.
You indicated the deep state has Trump by the short hairs as perhaps implicated in the Epstein sex mess of prostitution of underage girls and boys. You are wrong. If such was the case they would have taken Trump out before his first election that defeated Hillary.
What I do not know but suspect is many many many Titans of business, government, media, etc. were also in Jeffery Epstein’s web of blackmail not for money but decisions of those in power. They are probably Democrat, Republican etc. All persons of influence. Trump is not one of these. If he was they would have already destroyed him years ago.
WTH is going on with D.C. hacks?.
Lawyers phones busy?.
Not stupid...just willfully ignorant of anything that smacks of not leaping to immediate conclusions.
What is the mossad connection?
