House Republicans Block Democrat-Led Effort to Force Release of Epstein Files to the Public — Here Are the Five Republicans Who Voted Against Transparency

In a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly.

Last week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑CA) announced he will introduce an amendment on Tuesday, forcing a House vote to release the full trove of Epstein-related files to the public.

The same party that spent years stonewalling investigations, blocking the release of Epstein’s client list, and downplaying his vast connections to the global elite is now suddenly pretending to care about transparency.

Jeffrey Epstein was a monster, but his real ties were to the Democrat elite. Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s Lolita Express at least 26 times, rubbing elbows with the pedophile financier while jet-setting around the world.

“Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?” Khanna wrote on Saturday.

“On Tuesday, I’m introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public. The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.”

He continued, “Will the House allow a vote on Tuesday on the Khanna Amendment demanding the full release of the Epstein files?”

In a 7–5 late-night Monday vote, House Republicans on the Rules Committee shut down a Democratic-led amendment spearheaded by Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑CA).

The measure would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice to publish all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents—including flight logs, communications, and purported client lists—on a publicly accessible website within 30 days.

Mistrusting Government About Epstein and More

Last week the Department of Justice announced that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list” of prominent individuals who may have broken the law at Epstein’s private island. These individuals could be blackmailed by Epstein and whatever intelligence agencies were working with him.

In February, in response to a question about when Epstein’s client list would be made public, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had it on her desk and would soon release it. She now says she meant she had a file related to Epstein, not the Epstein client list.

The Justice Department also claimed it did a full investigation of the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and can definitively say that Epstein committed suicide even though an autopsy paid for by Epstein’s brother concluded that Epstein was likely murdered.

The Justice Department’s announcement last week was met with outrage, much of it coming from some of President’s Trump’s most prominent allies, such as popular media figures Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Benny Johnson.

The willingness of so many Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development. Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust government officials, whether concerning Epstein, wars, the economy, or other important matters.

DOJ under Trump urges SCOTUS not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in filing: report

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in a Department of Justice filing. 

Maxwell’s lawyers stated that she should not have been put on trial due to the plea deal that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein got in 2008 from prosecutors in Florida.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s DOJ responded to Maxwell’s lawyers’ filing Monday and urged the Supreme Court not to take up her case, according to an exclusive report from the Daily Mail.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking and an array of other charges in connection with her procurement of minors for Epstein’s indulgence.

She said she was willing to testify before Congress about the Epstein files, sources told The Daily Mail. 

The Trump administration has received significant backlash from conservative influencers and journalists over his handling of the Epstein files.

“Just Release the Files as Promised” – Elon Musk Calls on President Trump to Release Epstein Files

In November 2024, after President Trump won the presidential reelection, former Trump administration official Kash Patel announced that under President Donald Trump’s second administration, Americans should brace for unprecedented government transparency. Kash Patel, who is currently the FBI Director, announced that massive declassification will occur under President Trump’s second term from the “Epstein Files” to the “Diddy list” and more.

Well that didn’t happen.

Last week the DOJ and FBI announced that Epstein killed himself and there was no Epstein client list.

Then following the uproar to these shocking assertions, President Trump posted a long screed over the weekend telling MAGA supporters and “selfish people” to forget about Epstein and move on.

This did not help the situation.

Elon Musk weighed in and told the president to “just release the files as promised.”

Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna to Force Vote on FULL Release of Epstein Files to the Public

Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑CA) announced he will introduce an amendment on Tuesday, forcing a House vote to release the full trove of Epstein-related files to the public.

The same party that spent years stonewalling investigations, blocking the release of Epstein’s client list, and downplaying his vast connections to the global elite is now suddenly pretending to care about transparency.

It can be recalled that in 2023, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) announced that she had filed a subpoena demanding the release of flight logs associated with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a figure notorious for his connections with high-profile individuals in human trafficking and sexual abuse.

Ex-Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) blocked Sen. Martha’s request to release the flight logs to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and to subpoena Justice Sotomayor’s staff.

“This is a sad day in the history of the prestigious Judiciary Committee and further underscores the Left’s two tiers of justice crusade,” Senator Blackburn said in a statement.

“They don’t want to have a conversation about the estate of Jeffrey Epstein to find out the names of every person who participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s human trafficking ring,” she said.

Now, Democrat Representative Ro Khanna announced that he will introduce an amendment to force a vote demanding the full release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files to the American public.

“Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?” Khanna wrote on Saturday.

REPORT: Ghislaine Maxwell Ready to Testify Before Congress — Could Blow Lid Off Epstein Files and Elite Pedophile Network

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly ready and willing to testify before the U.S. Congress about the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire — and the powerful men who participated in it.

According to a Daily Mail report, Maxwell, 63, has not been offered a plea deal, nor has she been contacted by any U.S. officials about providing testimony — something she would reportedly “welcome.”

“She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” a source close to Maxwell told the news outlet.

“No one from the government has ever asked her. She remains the only person jailed in connection to Epstein and would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.”

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Tallahassee State Prison in Florida, for her role in grooming and trafficking underage girls for Epstein and his network of high-powered friends, which included billionaires, politicians, academics, and royalty. Yet to date, not a single Epstein “client” has been charged.

Earlier this year, Ghislaine Maxwell asked the US Supreme Court to hear her appeal against a 2021 conviction on five counts of aiding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his sexual abuse of young girls.

The Epstein Client List — Why is Trump Breaking His Promise to Publish?

Although Donald Trump and Pam Bondi insist that there is no Epstein Client List… there is a list and it is reproduced above with the permission of its author, Ryan Dawson. Ryan compiled the list the old-fashioned way… he combed through court transcripts and charging documents. He only put names on the list if the victims of Epstein’s pedophilia enterprise identified or named a particular individual. As you peruse the list you will notice that there are some very wealthy, powerful individuals named. Not one of them has brought a libel or slander legal action against Ryan. If he was posting false material, he would have been a certain target of lawsuits.

So why has Donald Trump broken his promise to publish the list? I think there are two reasons — neither mutually exclusive. First, Donald Trump probably paid no attention to Ryan’s work and was never familiar with the list. Once he signed the executive order to publish the Epstein file, he was then briefed on the actual names and realized that many of them are major donors to his campaign, e.g., Jamie Dimon, Robert Kraft. While there are several names on that list who are confirmed anti-Trumpers, there are others who are friends.

Second, and in my opinion a more important consideration, is that the full Epstein file would expose a foreign intelligence blackmail operation that implicates the Mossad and the CIA. Alexander Acosta, the former Secretary of Labor for Donald Trump, said he was told that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to intelligence. During the controversy surrounding his handling of Epstein’s 2008 plea deal as a US attorney, Acosta reportedly told Trump administration officials that he had been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” and that this was a reason for the unusually lenient plea agreement. It would not surprise me that Bibi Netanyahu asked Trump to pull the plug on releasing the material. Did Trump get something in return from Bibi, such as agreeing to a ceasefire? We will find out in the coming days.

While Trump may think he can smooth this over with his MAGA base, I think that he has done serious damage to his Presidency by embracing the lie that, “there is no list.”

Trump Calls Epstein List A Democrat Psyop, Tells MAGA ‘Not To Waste Time And Energy’

Less than one year ago, then-candidate Donald Trump vowed to release the Jeffrey Epstein files – aka the ‘list’ of friends and associates who violated “more than 1,000” sex-trafficked victims. 

Now, after his FBI just came out to say ‘nothing to see here!‘ (no list, and Epstein definitely killed himself), Trump just wants the whole thing to go away for some reason we can’t quite put our finger on. 

Last week Trump lashed out at a reporter for asking about Epstein, saying “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years.” 

On Saturday, Trump gave a masterclass in the Streisand effect – writing in a Truth Social post “We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again.”

Yeah, why do people want to find out which rich and powerful men were fucking children provided by Epstein? And what did Trump mean when he said that Epstein ‘never dies’? (Maybe QAnon knows)

Trump then attempted to discredit the Epstein files, equating it to the Steele dossier…

“Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands,” adding “Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?”

Maybe because it would implicate everyone on both sides of the aisle? 

Trump then said that the FBI should focus on voter fraud and arresting “Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

“One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”

FBI Declines to Comment on James O’Keefe FBI Leak Where Agent Claims Law Enforcement “Turned a Blind Eye or Missed Things” in Jeffrey Epstein Case

The FBI declined to comment on a new exposé from O’Keefe Media Group and James O’Keefe, featuring a current FBI agent spilling the beans on the FBI’s cover-up of the Epstein case.  

As The Gateway Pundit reported, O’Keefe has published audio tapes of a current FBI agent revealing that the FBI “turned a blind eye” on some of the evidence in the Epstein case on Saturday.

It was previously reported that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino erupted on Pam Bondi and took a day off as he considers resigning over mishandling of the Epstein case and lack of transparency with the American people. It was further rumored that FBI Director Kash Patel may leave the FBI over the scandal, but he called the rumors “conspiracy theories” on Saturday.

This comes after the FBI, DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide. The memo also suggested that no further Epstein documents would be released to the public.

FBI Deputy Senior Intelligence Officer Rami Hasan, who said he works on “countering White supremacy things,” revealed that “law enforcement kind of either turned a blind eye or, like, missed things” in the Epstein case.

He further attacked the DOJ for their “weird” nothingburger Epstein file release to a select group of MAGA influencers in February.

He said of the FBI, “it’s a sh*t show.”

“FBI LEAKS” – James O’Keefe Reveals Deputy Senior National Intelligence Officer Confessed Law Enforcement “Turned a Blind Eye or Missed Things” in Jeffrey Epstein Case – “It’s a Sh*t Show”

O’Keefe Media Group founder and undercover journalist James O’Keefe debuted a new series, called “FBI Leaks,” featuring a current FBI agent spilling the beans on the FBI’s cover-up of the Epstein case.  

As The Gateway Pundit reported, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files, and he is rumored to be considering resigning from the Bureau.

The blowup between Bondi and Bongino happened after the FBI, DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide.

The memo also suggested that no further Epstein documents would be released to the public.

It was also reported that Kash Patel is considering resigning if Bongino leaves.

The White House responded to reports on Friday, however, claiming that “the continued fixation on sowing division in President Trump’s Cabinet is baseless and unfounded in reality.”
