Speaker Johnson Says He Would Put a Contentious Bill that Would Require the DoJ to Release the Epstein Files to a Floor Vote Next Week

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “So as you all noticed tonight, as soon as the discharge petition received the 218th signature, we brought it up on unanimous consent. And that would, as you know, make it — we get it through the process immediately. The Democrats, shockingly, opposed it. So it was a staggering level of hypocrisy. I think some of them regretted it, because within about a half hour of that, there was a lot of confusion, and some of them claimed that they did not object, but they did, and that’s what happened on the floor. So we’re going to put that on the floor for a full vote next week, as soon as we get back. In the meantime, I’ll remind everybody, the Oversight Committee has been working around the clock, even through the government shutdown, for maximum transparency and full disclosure as we have all been for since the very beginning.”
