House Republicans Dangle Possible Vote on Epstein Files, After Voter Backlash
House Republicans, under pressure from Democrats and their own angry constituents, agreed on Thursday night to lay the groundwork for a potential vote calling on the Justice Department to release material from its investigation of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking with President Trump’s demand that supporters accept his administration’s handling of the case and move on.
The measure, a nonbinding resolution, has not been scheduled for a vote. It is unclear whether Republicans will ever bring it up, or whether it could muster the support to pass in the face of a deep G.O.P. divide over the Trump administration’s handling of the case of Mr. Epstein, who died by suicide in federal custody while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
This is very far from a revolt. More like a nudge to get the regime to do the right thing.
Ve Moremhportantly, it mrd ay be a sign that congressional Repubs, for the first time in a very long time, fear their constituents more than they do trump. Meaning they think trump has lost his iron grip on their hearts and minds.
