President Donald Trump has helped Speaker Mike Johnson survive every political storm of his speakership. Now, Johnson is stuck in a crisis of Trump’s own making over Jeffrey Epstein — and there’s no clear way forward without risking the ire of the speaker’s most critical ally.

A key House committee is looking into the investigation of the late Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking crimes.

Three Republicans joined Democrats in approving the motion, a rare moment of bipartisan agreement regarding an investigation that has been shrouded in mystery.

The House left a day early for a summer break that Sen. Chuck Schumer has dubbed "the Epstein recess" as Democrats try to capitalize on a major pain point for Republicans.

A House subcommittee has voted to subpoena the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

House Republicans face a growing divide over the Epstein files, creating a "summer of discontent" as the chamber adjourns early amid pressure from MAGA-aligned members.

White House aides have made it clear that no one in the administration is allowed to talk about Epstein without high-level vetting as Trump attempts to change the subject.

Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the House’s final week in Washington before a weekslong recess, despite intense pressure from some of his own GOP members to go on the record on the issue.

As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) is obligated, under House rules, to issue the subpoena to the Justice Department. But he has not said when he will do so.

Pressley, a sexual assault survivor, said Epstein’s victims and the public “deserve transparency, accountability, and healing.”
