Controversy on Capitol Hill over the so-called Epstein Files is seemingly not going away anytime soon.

Washington

A provision requiring the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein was blocked by Republican lawmakers in the US House of Representatives. The proposed measure would have mandated the release of the files within 30 days. While most Republicans opposed the measure, Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina joined Democrats in supporting the release, citing public interest. Republican Congressman Tim Burchett also expressed a desire for the files to be made public. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna stated he intends to continue pushing for the amendment until it is approved.
