Speaker Johnson calls GOP effort to force release of Epstein files a "political game" as the DOJ says it plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell in coming days.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is shutting the House of Representatives down for more than a month in order to prevent lawmakers from voting on the release of the Epstein files

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche intends to meet with convicted Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in the next several days amid growing calls for the Trump administration to release the Epstein files.

The Department of Justice said Tuesday it has reached out to Jeffrey Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell for a meeting amid backlash over the administration’s handling of files related to Epstein.

The Republican speaker truncated the schedule for the week and said he would send lawmakers home on Wednesday to deny Democrats the chance to force votes on whether to release the Epstein material.

Alan Dershowitz urged the government to grant Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend immunity so that she can testify about his crimes.
