House Set for Vote on Epstein Files After White House Met With Boebert

A discharge petition reaching 218 signatures now requires a floor vote.

Overview

  • Top administration officials met with Rep. Lauren Boebert in the White House Situation Room to discuss the petition, and she said she was not pressured and kept her signature.
  • The petition hit the 218-signature threshold after Rep. Adelita Grijalva was sworn in, triggering the House discharge process for a vote.
  • Boebert is one of four Republicans who signed, joining Reps. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • Press secretary Karoline Leavitt framed the outreach as transparency and declined to detail what was discussed in the Situation Room.
  • President Trump contacted Mace about the effort, and she reaffirmed her support, while a viral claim of incriminating Trump audio was debunked by Snopes as originating from a satire source.
