A political firestorm has erupted in the U.S. House of Representatives as Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership abruptly adjourned Congress early to avoid a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The move comes amid bipartisan calls for transparency and growing pressure from both Democrats and some Republicans to make the Epstein documents public. The decision has exposed deep divisions within the GOP, with some lawmakers rebelling against leadership and aligning with Democrats on the issue. Critics accuse Johnson and Trump allies of shielding the former president from potential fallout, while others insist the matter is being used for political gain.
The controversy has left the House in chaos, with the Epstein files at the center of a high-stakes political standoff.
