Crockett Blasts Johnson on CNN as House Prepares Vote to Force Release of Epstein Files

A rare discharge petition clearing 218 signatures now sets up a House vote that refocuses debate on victim privacy.

Overview

Rep. Jasmine Crockett called Speaker Mike Johnson “full of sh*t” on CNN while rejecting his rationale that releasing files risks exposing victims.
Crockett alleged Johnson delayed recalling the House and the swearing-in of a new member to stall action on the Epstein records.
After a 50-day delay, Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in provided the 218th signature on the discharge petition, positioning the measure for a floor vote as early as Tuesday.
Johnson said he questioned whether the discharge mechanism sufficiently protects anonymity for survivors and those who do not want their names public.
President Donald Trump urged House Republicans in a Truth Social post to vote to release the remaining Epstein files.
