Representative Ro Khanna (D‑CA) has announced plans to force a vote in the House of Representatives demanding the full, unredacted release of all documents related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Khanna said he will introduce an amendment this week that would require the House Speaker to bring the measure to a roll-call vote, putting every member of Congress on the record. Newsweek contacted Khanna's team via email and House Speaker Mike Johnson via online form for comment outside of usual working hours on Sunday.

The Context

As reported by Newsweek, Epstein, who died in prison six years ago while facing sex trafficking charges, had maintained close ties with numerous high-profile figures around the world. Though his death was officially ruled a suicide, speculation has persisted for years that he may have been murdered to prevent the release of a so-called "client list," a roster some believe could implicate prominent political figures, including President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and the U.K.'s Prince Andrew.

After being accused of sexual abuse connected to the Epstein scandal, Prince Andrew denied all accusations against him and resigned from royal duties in 2020. Clinton maintains that he did not have any contact with Epstein after the financier was accused of sex crimes, and never visited his now-infamous private island of Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The controversy was reignited last month when billionaire Elon Musk alleged, in a since-deleted social media post, that the government had withheld Epstein-related records because "Trump is in the Epstein files." The president dismissed the claim, saying he "had nothing to do with it," but it sparked further interest in the government's records.

Democrats are trolling this hard!

[lapfog_1]

1. strike while the iron is hot...

in a few weeks the MAGA assholes will be onboard with Trump Train again... where else can they go?

[Icanthinkformyself]

24. Their anger

lasted little more than a weekend before the cult was able to swallow whole the false narrative that 'no list exists'.

[flamingdem]

2. Woo hoo!

Release the Kraken

[bucolic_frolic]

3. On Fri they didn't exist, and on Sat they were pronounced FAKE NEWS

Written by Democrats, Trump tweeted. The files that don't exist were written by Democrats.

I'm confused.

[Faux pas]

4. I'm afraid the hump

has either eaten them, flushed them, burned them or maybe all of the above

[JoseBalow]

5. drumpf will never do anything he doesn't want to do

He truly believes he's above the law, and the will of anyone but himself.

[live love laugh]

11. It's okay the trolling irks him so that's good.

[Trueblue Texan]

6. Y'all know they're gonna release only the files that implicate Democrats!

The MAGA base is after raw meat and they'd prefer it to be of the "Democrat" flavor. If there is not a single Rethug in the mix, that will make it all the more satisfying and they'll quit screaming about Blondie and Krasnov releasing the files.

[UpInArms]

26. Why would Obama and Hillary write a fake list

About democrats that implicates TFG?

[Trueblue Texan]

27. Right...

Why would they? That's about as logical as the accusation that the Left orchestrated the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol. But I have no illusions that Democrats are all pure. There are scoundrels on both sides of the aisle. I'm of the opinion that the scoundrels are FAR more heavily weighted on the Rethug side, however.

[Deminpenn]

7. They sure are trolling this!

One thing we know is that the cultists are also CT'ers. Bondi, Bongino, Patel and company are now the "deep state" the cultists love to hate.

[Sogo]

8. They're smelling blood in the water and circling around....

nt.

[BidenRocks]

9. We need one 'client',

Low profile, dying and with no family and nothing to lose to come forward.

Bueller?

Crickets

[Upthevibe]

10. Kick. N/T

[Bengus81]

12. Can't wait for that vote when every Trump ass kissing Republican will have to vote NO

or face the wrath of Dear Leader. Hell yes!! Let everyone see that the Republican party is THE supporter of a former huge pedophile/sex trafficking ring with under age girls.

[mcar]

13. Good. nt

[IronLionZion]

14. Krasnov might deport Congressman Khanna back to where he was born

which is Philadelphia, PA.

[Martin68]

15. Good politics.

[kimbutgar]

16. And why aren't they interviewing Bill Barr ?

[BumRushDaShow]

18. +infinity

And neither Barr nor Jeff Sessions (who was 45's AG from Feb. 8, 2017 - Nov. 7, 2018), EVER get enough mention DU, with the preference to instead go after the AGs under Democratic Presidents (Eric Holder & Merrick Garland).

[electric_blue68]

22. Ah, forgot about all that. Ty reminders

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

25. Yep!

[Torchlight]

17. He's forcing the GOP to make excuses in public

If nothing else, getting their squirming on record is worth the price of admission. Rep. Khanna has effectively, 'pantsed' the GOP members who want to keep their heads down on this one.

[republianmushroom]

19. Good luck with this. chuckle, chuckle

... demanding the full, unredacted release of all documents related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

You will get a plastic bag full of shredded paper.

[Deminpenn]

20. Can you say Whitewater?

I knew you could.

[live love laugh]

21. Every week another Congress person should also do this.

[MichMan]

23. Too bad they didn't start this last Fall
