The U.S. House of Representatives abruptly adjourned early for summer recess, a move orchestrated by Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership to avoid a contentious vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The decision comes amid bipartisan pressure and public outcry for transparency regarding Epstein's connections and alleged client list. Internal divisions within the Republican Party have surfaced, with some members breaking ranks to demand the files' release, while others dismiss the issue as a distraction. Democrats have seized on the controversy, accusing Republicans of shielding former President Trump and blocking accountability.
