Bill will force release of documents related to late pedophile after Trump and allies backed down from opposition

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill with nearly unanimous support that will force the release of investigative files related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after Donald Trump and his Republican allies backed down from their opposition amid a scandal that has dogged the president since his return to the White House.

The Epstein case returned dramatically to the public eye in July, when the justice department and FBI released a memo saying they had nothing further to disclose about the investigation. That flew in the face of statements made by Trump and his top officials that indicated they would release more information about Epstein’s offenses and ties to global elites once they took office.

Shortly after, four dissident Republicans in the House and all Democrats banded together to force a vote on a bill to release the investigative files, over Johnson’s objections.

      I care about anyone involved in sex trafficking being prosecuted. Only enemies of Trump will be under the current regime, of course, but it’s a start.

        We will never pull out of this information death spiral. Which makes everything, including sex trafficking, far worse. Never again will there be consensus reality.

          True. I’ve just had to accept that there is a very large percentage of the population who believes a false narrative and work around them as best I can.
