YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump said he would sign legislation compelling the release of the Justice Department’s Jeffrey Epstein files if it reaches his desk. This comes a day before the House is expected to vote to release the files and after Trump reversed himself and urged GOP lawmakers to support the measure. House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled he could support a bill on releasing the files if changes were made to some provisions in the Senate if the measure heads to the chamber. GOP Senate leader John Thune is still mulling whether to schedule a vote, a source said.

CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes and CNN anchor and chief Congressional correspondent Manu Raju report, and Kasie Hunt discusses with her "The Arena" panel: political reporter and author Molly Ball, former host of "Hardball" on MSNBC Chris Matthews, CNN political commentator and former communications director for Vice President Harris Jamal Simmons and former GOP congressman from Michigan Peter Meijer. #CNN #News
