Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson said there will not be a vote before Congress' August recess on a resolution that calls on the Trump administration to release more files related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

He—the president, their leader, the martyr who had endured scandals and prosecution and an assassin’s bullet on their behalf—had repeatedly told them it was time to move on, and that alone should suffice. Why, he groused, would the White House add fuel to the fire, would it play into the media’s narrative?

House Republican leaders are pushing a vote on whether to compel the Trump administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein files until after the August recess — at the earliest, Politico reported Monday.

A White House spokesperson declined to comment on if the Journal would be included in the pool in the future, either on the White House campus or on subsequent trips.

Intense clashing over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has influenced betting markets about who could leave the Trump administration in 2025.

Donald Trump reportedly ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because the latter was "a creep," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the New York Times in a lengthy report published Saturday -- not due to the pair's real estate dispute over a Palm Beach mansion they both wanted to buy,

The Justice Department this week fired Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor in New York who was involved in cases against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The persisting furor over files related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has forced President Donald Trump into an unfamiliar role: trying to shut a conspiracy theory down.

The White House on Thursday attempted to close the door on President Donald Trump’s role in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, rejecting calls from within his own political base for a special prosecutor and casting his recent comments about the “Epstein Hoax” as a swipe at Democrats, not a dismissal of Epstein’s crimes.
