YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump’s firm control of Washington showed signs of weakening Tuesday as nearly all House Republicans voted to compel the Justice Department to release its files on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, whose earlier ties to the president have been the subject of intense scrutiny.

The overwhelming 427 to 1 House vote signals the legislation has strong chances in the Republican-controlled Senate and may ultimately be signed by Trump, who late Sunday relented on his prior opposition and directed House Republicans to vote to release the files. Speaker Mike Johnson urged the Senate to water down the bill’s requirements but it’s unclear Senate GOP leaders will do so.
