The U.S. House of Representatives abruptly adjourned for its summer recess a day early, as Republican leaders moved to avoid a politically charged vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leadership faced mounting pressure from Democrats and some Republicans to make Epstein-related documents public, but instead opted to block the vote by ending the session. The controversy has exposed deep divisions within the Republican Party and fueled accusations of a cover-up, with critics alleging the move was designed to protect Donald Trump and other powerful figures. The issue has become a political flashpoint, with bipartisan calls for transparency clashing with leadership's efforts to shield members from a potentially damaging vote.
The Epstein files saga is expected to continue to roil Congress when lawmakers return in September.
