A political firestorm has erupted in the U.S. House of Representatives over demands to release files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Bipartisan calls for transparency have led to surprise votes, subpoenas for the Department of Justice and the Clintons, and rare alliances across party lines. Republican leaders, facing mounting pressure and internal rebellion, abruptly adjourned the House early for summer recess to avoid a contentious vote on the issue. Democrats accuse Republicans of orchestrating a cover-up, while some GOP members break ranks to demand the files' release.
The controversy underscores deep divisions in Congress and ongoing public interest in the Epstein case and its potential political ramifications.
