Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) on Tuesday slammed the GOP for dodging a vote that would call for the release of files related to deceased financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican leaders this week scrapped their legislative plans and headed early into a long summer recess \u2014 all to avoid votes on the Epstein saga. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has insisted the move was not intended to shield Republicans from tough Epstein votes \u2014 or protect Trump from potentially embarrassing disclosures \u2014 but to end the Democrats\u2019 \u201cpolitical games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe pedophile protection party is shutting down Congress just to avoid voting on the release of the Epstein files,\u201d Omar wrote in a post on X in response to the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, GOP lawmakers killed a vote backed by Democrats attempting to force the release of Epstein\u2019s files. It failed 211-210 along party lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe American people are best served by putting an end to Democrats\u2019 side shows. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing by not allowing the Rules Committee to continue with that nonsense this week,\u201d Johnson said during a Tuesday press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re done being lectured on transparency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some Republicans have refused to completely abandon the public\u2019s desire for more information related to Epstein\u2019s international illegal dealings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee voted Tuesday to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime associate to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to appear for a deposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are hoping the measure will unveil new details about the list of people involved with the human trafficking ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is progress. We will not stop fighting until the Epstein Files are released. Trump and Bondi must stop blocking the American people from the truth,\u201d House Oversight Democrats wrote on the social platform X after the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also said in a statement that he has communicated with Maxwell\u2019s counsel \u201cto determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days,\u201d Blanche said. \u201cUntil now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
