Final Signature Obtained for House Vote on Epstein Files

An effort to compel the Justice Department to release materials related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein gained momentum after House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed the swearing-in of newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva. The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, introduced by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, has garnered enough support through a discharge petition to force a House vote, despite opposition from GOP leaders. Grijalva’s signature allows the motion to advance, with a potential vote as early as December. The bill seeks to release documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s cases, including flight logs and internal communications.
