White House Decries Republican Backing for Epstein Files Bill as Bipartisan Push Nears Floor Vote

Trump’s hoax dismissal contrasts with growing public calls for transparency.

Overview

  • A bipartisan measure to release Jeffrey Epstein–related records is reported to be close to the votes needed for a House floor vote.
  • The White House labeled Republican participation in the disclosure effort a “very hostile act,” responding to support for a discharge push.
  • President Trump has repeatedly dismissed the controversy as a “Democrat hoax” and “total bullshit” in recent public remarks.
  • Seth Meyers said Trump appears “absolutely spooked” by the mounting pressure and argued the White House’s stance is an “obvious admission,” while urging full disclosure regardless of party.
  • On his show, Meyers cited survivor Chauntae Davies saying Epstein was “very close” with Trump and referenced reporting that Pam Bondi told Trump his name appears in the files.
