House Vote Triggered on Epstein Records After Discharge Petition Reaches 218

Survivor advocates press for transparency despite White House resistance.

Overview

  • Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene remains one of four Republican signers and says she will not withdraw from the petition.
  • Greene posted that she is "not suicidal" and urged scrutiny if harm comes to her, citing her push to release the records.
  • The petition cleared the threshold after Democrat Adelita Grijalva’s special election win, enabling a forced floor vote.
  • Greene told the New York Times she rebuked White House aides after warnings, as the White House labeled GOP support a "very hostile act."
  • Even if the House passes the bill, it must clear the Senate and be signed by the president; DOJ has said further releases face legal limits and Trump has called the issue a "Democrat Epstein Hoax."
