Overview

  • Pelosi initially labeled the Epstein disclosures a distraction during a July 17 MSNBC interview but later posted on X demanding full release and accountability for everyone on the list.
  • House Democrats voted unanimously to publish the files, while Republican members of the House Rules Committee blocked Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced a floor vote on the records.
  • President Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek court approval to release grand jury testimony from Epstein’s 2019 case, though broader document disclosures remain limited.
  • On X, Pelosi criticized Trump for refusing to appoint a special prosecutor to oversee the Epstein investigation after weeks of resisting file releases.
  • A recent DOJ–FBI memorandum concluded there is no incriminating “client list” in the Epstein documents, yet bipartisan pressure for comprehensive disclosures continues to mount.
