YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The GOP-controlled House is in such chaos that lawmakers are being sent home for their annual summer recess one day early in the wake of President Donald Trump’s about-face on the Epstein files.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) canceled Thursday votes amid Republican division over how to address the release of documents related to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump said during his campaign last year that he’d release files related to Epstein, a longtime demand of the MAGA right, but this month he pivoted and referred to criticism as a “hoax.” Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported Trump once sent Epstein a risque birthday card — which the president denied — ramping up pressure on the administration.
