House Speaker Johnson Schedules Vote on Releasing Epstein Case Files

House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced that the House of Representatives will vote next week on a bill requiring the Department of Justice to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

This decision follows a successful discharge petition led by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), which garnered the necessary 218 signatures to force a floor vote.

Johnson's move marks a shift from previous delays. In July, he had postponed votes on Epstein-related measures, stating the need to protect victims while ensuring transparency.

The upcoming vote reflects growing bipartisan support for full disclosure of Epstein's case files. Massie emphasized the importance of transparency, stating that withholding information could undermine public trust and affect future elections.

The outcome of the vote remains uncertain, but it signifies a significant step toward addressing public demand for accountability in the Epstein case.
