A political firestorm has engulfed the U.S. House of Representatives as both Democrats and Republicans clash over whether to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation.
Speaker Mike Johnson abruptly sent lawmakers home early for summer recess to avoid a contentious vote on subpoenaing the Department of Justice for Epstein-related documents. The move has sparked bipartisan frustration, with some Republicans breaking ranks and joining Democrats in demanding full transparency. The controversy has exposed deep divisions within the GOP, particularly over the Trump administration's handling of the case.
Calls for accountability and public disclosure continue to mount, ensuring the Epstein files remain a hot-button issue in Congress.
