Epstein Files: GOP Panic & Trumpâs Ultimate No Can Stop Dance
KEY POINTS
- â˘House Speaker Mike Johnson scheduled vote on Epstein files release.
- â˘GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Dem Rep. Ro Khanna lead bipartisan bill.
- â˘A veto-proof majority requires 290 votes in the House.
- â˘Trump was informed about the expedited vote by Johnson.
In a plot twist nastier than a TikTok feud, House Speaker Mike Johnson greenlit a rapid-fire vote on releasing every juicy crumb of the Jeffrey Epstein filesâbecause apparently if you can't slam the door, might as well fling it wide open. The move came after the GOP realized the bipartisan bill, championed like an edgy indie film by Rep. Thomas Massie (whoâs about as subtle as a cannon) and Dem Ro Khanna, was gaining momentum faster than a viral dance challenge. Even Trump, after a pre-vote chit-chat with Johnson, apparently shrugged with the resigned grace of a man realizing his tweetstorm wonât stop this train. Remember when Johnson sent the House packing early for August recess? That was basically him hiding behind his couch, hoping Epstein files wouldnât come knocking â spoiler alert: they did. Adding to the absurd mix, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, yes, her, joined forces with this rare Republican cohort pushing the Justice Department to spill the tea. And after the House Oversight Committee dropped thousands of new Epstein emails like an unsolicited playlist, even the usual GOP firewall started peeling away â expecting a veto-proof majority of 290 votes to force the Senate's hand, while Majority Leader John Thune acts like he just missed the memo and says they donât really need to. TL;DR: The Epstein file drama in Congress has all the subtlety of a wrestling match in a glass shop, and itâs just getting started.
