Overview

  • Nancy Pelosi reversed her earlier remark calling the Epstein files debate a distraction and tweeted that everyone on the Epstein list must be held accountable by unsealing the documents.
  • The House Rules Committee voted 7-5 to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced a floor vote on fully disclosing the federal investigation records.
  • President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek court approval for releasing selected grand jury testimony from the Southern District of New York.
  • A recent DOJ–FBI memo found no incriminating “client list” in Epstein’s files, but lawmakers and advocates say partial releases have failed to satisfy transparency demands.
  • House Democrats voted unanimously to unseal all Epstein files while Republicans have consistently resisted broader disclosure efforts.
