Bill will force release of documents related to late pedophile after Trump and allies backed down from opposition

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill with nearly unanimous support that will force the release of investigative files related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after Donald Trump and his Republican allies backed down from their opposition amid a scandal that has dogged the president since his return to the White House.

The Epstein case returned dramatically to the public eye in July, when the justice department and FBI released a memo saying they had nothing further to disclose about the investigation. That flew in the face of statements made by Trump and his top officials that indicated they would release more information about Epstein’s offenses and ties to global elites once they took office.

Shortly after, four dissident Republicans in the House and all Democrats banded together to force a vote on a bill to release the investigative files, over Johnson’s objections.

      I believe they can refuse to release files related to an ongoing investigation - like the one he just had bondi open on Clinton, etc.

      Near unanimous

      No fucking way they’re getting released then. At least not the real docs. They sit with their thumbs up their assess while Trump dismantles every executive institution but they somehow snap back to reality when mostly Democrats find the bare minimum support to force a vote?

    Lol I bet they had chatgpt remove Trump. Can’t wait until the original prompts are at the bottom…

    “How is that for removing Trump from the Epstein files? I changed it so he didn’t blow Bubba just like you said!”

    Everyone is positive that trump is trying to withold the epstein files because it would expose him as being in them. Everyones making jokes that his fear is being assosiated with epstein.

    Well…I kinda don’t think trump gives a shit about that. I think there’s other stuff, like trump giving bill a bj. Things that he enjoys, but is in the closet about because it would embarass him.

    Also, protecting all his OTHER buddies that are on that list. It’s obvious trump is on that list. Trump knows its obvious. But he’s still acting like the public can’t find out.

    That tells me there’s more than just “trump is in the files”.

    I fully expect when the files are released, he’ll be in there. The public will think they got the full files. Then he’ll pardon himself, and no one will be the wiser.

    My guess is, with his ties to both entertainment worlds, and political worlds, there’s a LOT of people in those files that right now the world doesn’t suspect at all.
