House Republicans are under fire after voting to block the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files—documents that could shed light on the powerful people linked to the convicted sex offender.
The move came after President Donald Trump publicly urged Republicans to back off. On his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “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? LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!”
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi once vowed to reveal everything she had on Epstein. But that promise has vanished. Photos of Trump and Epstein at parties are all over the internet, fueling suspicion and growing rifts inside the MAGA base over the silence.
Rep. Ro Khanna didn’t hold back after Republicans blocked his amendment for a full release. “Rules voted 5-7 to block the full House from voting on my amendment to have a FULL release of the Epstein file. People are fed up. They are fed up.”
Podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen laid it out: “There it is. Republicans just BLOCKED the release of the Epstein Files.”
The group Republicans Against Trump didn’t mince words either: “Every single Republican voted to hide potentially damaging info about Epstein’s friend Donald Trump. What a disgrace. They chose to protect Trump instead of telling the American people the truth. Disgraceful. We all know that if Trump’s name wasn’t in the files, they would’ve voted to release them.”
Another podcaster, Brian Allen, added, “Disgraceful. Republicans just BLOCKED the release of the Epstein Files. They didn’t flinch. They didn’t hesitate. They lined up and voted to keep the truth sealed. The client list is real. The cover-up is active. And the American people are watching.”
Twitter user @jeff_ostach summed up the anger: “There are no winners in this vote. The losers are the American people. Every single Republican congressional representative is up for reelection in 2026, and I guarantee constituents will remember this day and will vote out each and every one of them.”
Americans want the truth. But House Republicans just voted to keep it buried.
