Jeffrey Epstein files: House speaker announces vote next week on release of docs
www.cnbc.com
The Trump administration has been criticized for failing to release files about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a former friend of President Trump.

  • A petition in the House of Representatives to force a vote to release the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files secured the last signature required to trigger that action.

  • Rep. Adelita Grilalva, D-Ariz., provided the 218th signature needed to approve the petition shortly after she was sworn in as a House member, after weeks of delay.

    Remember, releasing the files is extremely popular with Republican voters, to the point where anyone who votes no is going to look like they’re basically in bed with the evil deep state pedophile cabal hiding under the pizza parlor.

    That means for them to kill it in the House, a whole bunch of GOP reps have to face a firestorm from their constituents.

    If it does in the Senate, it’s because they let that firestorm spread to every GOP senator too.

    And if it makes it to Trump, and he’s forced to veto it? That might just be the final nail in his presidency. His polularity is already tanking. This could kill it completely.
