For those not on Capitol Hill, this is a House GOP debacle. They are so scared of votes re: Epstein that they will punt most of this week's legislative schedule and start their summer break early.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
GOP Sen. Josh Hawley tells @mkraju he thinks DOJ should release more than grand jury testimony. "Anything that is not part of a pending prosecution that you can release, I'd be in favor of just getting it all out there," he said adding constituents have been calling about Epstein
It's only July but it certainly sounds like Dems will still be in a fighting mood come Sept. 30 Asked Jeffries if House Dems will take their same stance against a CR. He points to rescissions and says Republicans "want to shut down the government"
Trump still pushing his party to move past Epstein, but many support more disclosure. “I think we want to have as much transparency as possible,” Schmitt says Tillis: “Why don't we just release it and deal with it.” Hawley: “It an important way to get closure. This a bad guy.”
