Lawmakers seeking to force the release of files related to the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein are predicting a big win in the House this week with a “deluge of Republicans” voting for their bill and bucking the GOP leadership and Donald Trump, who for months have disparaged their effort.
The bill would force the Justice Department to release all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison. Information about Epstein’s victims or ongoing federal investigations would be allowed to be redacted.
“There could be 100 or more” votes from Republicans, said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., among the lawmakers discussing the legislation on Sunday news show appearances. “I’m hoping to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote.”
So the orange cancer stalled long enough for the FBI to scrub his name from the files then? Wouldn’t doubt it if he had them add new names.
🖕🤬
The fact that orange is now about facing the issue makes that very likely.
Exactly. I wouldn’t put it past them to regard the scrubbing as an “ongoing federal investigation” — which the article clearly mentions can still be redacted.
