President Donald Trump has made repeated attempts to kill the effort, but a discharge petition has forced Speaker Mike Johnson's hand.
Under the current GOP plan, the House Rules Committee would approve a procedural measure Monday night to advance eight bills for floor consideration, including language to tee up the Epstein legislation. If that measure is approved on the floor, likely early Tuesday afternoon, debate and a final vote on the Epstein bill could immediately follow. GOP leaders are considering whether to postpone the Epstein vote until Tuesday evening.
Scores of Republicans are expected to break ranks and support the bill, which would then have to be approved by the Senate and signed by Trump to take effect. Neither is likely, but the process could drag out for weeks, extending the controversy over Trump’s ties to Epstein.
Epstein said in a 2019 email released by the House Oversight Committee this week that Trump “knew about the girls” he was trafficking, but Trump has denied wrongdoing and there is no evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s trafficking operation.
The four Republicans who signed on to the discharge petition forcing the vote — Massie, plus Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina — are likely to examine Johnson’s moves very closely. They could together block any procedural measure that would undercut the Epstein legislation, postpone it or otherwise alter it.
That would freeze the House floor just as GOP leaders are trying to bring the House back for an aggressive work schedule following a seven-week recess ordered by Johnson amid the record government shutdown.

Enough just release it. This constant trickle will never stop. Just release it and be done with it.
Here ya go!
Bill Gates wife dumped him because of Epstein. So I guess we will now get an investigation. Maybe
Gimme a break. Redactions/edifications will render them meaningless.
You make a good point. If it’s loaded with redactions and omitted pages it will just keep the hysteria fueled and it will go on and on.
Epstein also wrote in an email in 2011 to Maxwell that Trump was a “dog that hasn’t barked” — what appeared to mean that Trump had not disclosed details about Epstein’s activities. Epstein added that a victim, whose name was redacted, spent hours with Trump.
Of course, we now know that the girl redacted was Virginia Guiffre, who repeatedly said Trump was not a client and she never saw him doing anything inappropriate.
None of this implicates Trump.
If there is anything incriminating the FBI would have investigated the people involved or destroyed the evidence
I was thinking the final scene in Raiders of the lost ark myself
I wonder how many on both sides have used Epstein's services themselves.
Of course these files have been sanitized. A complete release would have an unknown number of powerful politicians going to jail. This continued coverup has resulted in the continued abuse of what the AG called “little children.” Coverup officials are complicit in this disgusting behavior.
I’m still trying to get someone somewhere to state Trump did anything wrong. Larry Summers was asking Epstein for dating advice.
So we can assume any politician who votes against this must be ‘part of the club’ and should be voted out of office.
So, the war in Venezuela starts Monday?
Yup- any great evidence has already been destroyed. Like all those video tapes. Especially if they involved democrats.
Tell us - why DJT is against the release?
Because half of both sides of the aisle in Congress is implicated.
sooooo…..who gives a flying…? release it all!!
I have no say over the matter. I am just positing that half of DC would go to prison if it were released, so half of DC will never vote for it.
