GOP momentum grows to force Trump DOJ to release Epstein files: Report

The upcoming special election in Southern Arizona could be pivotal in securing the 218th vote needed to compel a House vote on releasing unclassified Justice Department files on Epstein and Maxwell.

  • Republican and Democratic lawmakers are nearing the necessary number of signatures to trigger a House vote on legislation that would require Attorney General Bondi to make all Department of Justice documents related to Jeffrey Epstein publicly available.
  • The petition’s progress follows growing frustration with the Trump administration’s dismissal of the Epstein controversy as a 'Democrat hoax' and persistent bipartisan demands for transparency.
  • Senators Josh Hawley and Rand Paul have publicly broken with GOP leadership, endorsing legislation that would compel disclosure, amid reports that many Republicans privately support releasing the files despite limited public petitions.
  • The proposed amendment mandates that the Justice Department gather and report on records concerning Epstein’s victims, co-conspirators, and his financial and governmental ties. Senator Paul expressed support for making these files accessible, suggesting that doing so could help restore public confidence in the justice system.
  • This legislative momentum suggests increasing pressure on the administration to abandon efforts to keep the documents secret and to acknowledge public demands for an impartial justice process.
