Right, we talked about the backlash Trump has been facing for his handling of the case, with MAGA supporters furious that the administration is trying to bury the whole thing and act like it’s not even worth caring about. And so Democratic Representative Ro Khanna introduced a measure to the House Rules Committee that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all Epstein documents to a public website. [] With Khanna telling Axios: "The question with Epstein is: Whose side are you on? Are you on the side of the rich and powerful, or are you on the side of the people?” But, as we expected, Republicans blocked the measure in a 5-7 vote, though one Republican, Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, did support it. [] With Khanna writing: “People are fed up. They are fed up. Thanks ⁦@RepRalphNorman⁩. Need to put the American people before party!” And that frustration is going nowhere, this morning you had Nikki Haley getting a ton of attention after tweeting: “Release the Epstein files and let the chips fall where they may. This is why people don’t trust government. You can never go wrong with being transparent. Redact victims’ names but release the rest.”[] Many also praising Khanna’s strategy of forcing the committee to vote on the matter, saying: “Rep. Ro Khanna getting Republicans to vote against releasing the Epstein files was a brilliant political move. Every Democrat can go on record saying their opponent blocked the Epstein files.”[] Jon Stewart also talking about how this is really the one thing Trump’s base won’t let go, right, they fall in line for him everywhere else, but this is just the breaking point, and no distraction is working: —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Maddie Crichton, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #JeffreyEpstein #DonaldTrump #JonStewart
