In a stunning move Monday night, GOP leaders abruptly recessed a key Rules Committee meeting and canceled the rest of the week’s legislative business. The reason: Democrats were about to force a vote demanding the public release of Epstein-related documents. Rather than deal with it, Republicans shut everything down and left town.

“We’ll see you in September,” said Rep. Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the Rules Committee, who led the push for the vote.

McGovern supported a bipartisan resolution—introduced by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna—that would compel the Biden administration to release Epstein’s network records. “Democrats on the Rules Committee gave Republicans a choice — either vote to release the Epstein Files, or keep them a secret,” McGovern said. “Republicans are so afraid of taking that vote that they are torching their own agenda instead of doing something they promised the voters they would do.”

The bill had support from some Republicans, including Massie himself, who showed up to the Capitol holding a binder labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 2.”

“Their Epstein bill resolution is non-binding so it’s kind of fake,” Massie told reporters, referring to a watered-down GOP version. “The resolution I have with Khanna would be binding on the President.”

But House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to bring either bill to the floor.

“Why not vote on the binding Massie-Khanna Epstein legislation this week @SpeakerJohnson?” Massie posted on X. “We should not punt this until after the 5 week recess.”

Instead of allowing a vote, Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise ended the Rules Committee session and canceled all remaining business for the week. “The work of the House will continue all week,” Johnson insisted Monday night, “and we won’t allow [Democrats] a platform to try and engage in political games.”

Scalise told reporters the committee likely wouldn’t reconvene at all before recess. That means no Epstein vote, and no action on other pending bills either—including a GOP-backed immigration measure and a water permitting bill.

Republicans claimed Democrats were just grandstanding. “They want to make Epstein — and, you know, we’re all for transparency, and we’re going to do that, but what they want to do is grandstand,” said Rep. Ralph Norman. “They said they’ll be there all night, we’ll be there all night.”

But Democrats weren’t buying it. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted: “Ummm so let me get this straight: Republicans have ground Congress to a halt and are considering adjourning the entire House for 6 weeks to avoid releasing the info they have on Epstein? What is going on here?”

The shutdown comes just days after the Justice Department released a memo confirming Epstein died by suicide in 2019—and that there is no “client list.” The statement directly contradicted conspiracy theories pushed for years by Trump allies who claim Epstein was murdered.

Trump, reportedly furious about the memo, lashed out at his own base. He called supporters who fell for the Epstein “hoax” “weaklings” and claimed—falsely—it was all a Democrat-driven narrative. He later walked it back, saying he still supports the release of “credible” documents, but told his followers to move on.

Mike Johnson was always going to fold like a wet noodle. He was never serious about releasing the files. He's so far up Trump's ass he can touch his gallbladder.

Zero surprise but I am not a trump fan. I know how dirty he and his posse are. Wretched, foul creatures destined to burn in the lake of fire for eternity. Apollyon shall be with you shortly, Mr. President.

A judge put the Epstein files locked away until Ghislaine Maxwell's case was over, which was in January 2024. Trump announced he was running for 2024 on November 15 2022.

If Biden had released the Epstein files in February 2024, fags like you would be crying Biden was doing election interference.

No judge had all of the FBIs case files tucked away in their desk you idiot.

You know what, show proof of your claim. I bet you even if you have proof it's going to be something specific to the Maxwell case and not Epstein

The point is Reps could solve this by just doing one up or down vote on it besides that purely performative non-binding one.

No. I’m saying democrats can shut down the republican congressional agenda by continually bringing this vote up. I’m kidding of course.
