So what happens when the House comes back into session? [View all]

Sooner or later Mike Johnson is going to have to call the House back into session. The current CR passed by the House (but not the Senate) expires on November 21, so if nothing else they will need another resolution to reopen the government after that date.

The petition re Epstein will immediately be signed and there will be a vote by the House on releasing the Epstein files. Let's assume it passes (which also assumes none of the Repubs who signed the petition will change their minds).

Sure the House has some of the Epstein files it can release, but surely not all of them, so when Trump refuses, then what?
