‘100 GOP representatives’ to ‘challenge’ Trump and push for release of Epstein files

Another added: “No one seriously believes this, right? If you do, talk to me, I have prime lunar real estate to sell you,” and one user said: “You need a psychiatrist if you see and hear phony people.”

Meanwhile, one person suggested that if someone in the Trump administration releases the files, “we’ll never see anything incriminating. Trump will fire (Pam) Bondi before he lets her release anything, and then he’ll name someone like Stephen Miller the new AG.”

According to Republican Representative Thomas Massie, he has the 218 signatures needed for the vote. A discharge request allows lawmakers to bypass party leaders and force a vote. However, the government shutdown has prevented the House from moving forward with the petition, as Speaker Mike Johnson is accused of doing everything in his power to delay the vote.

Even Democratic Rep.-elect. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona was not sworn in because her signature on the petition could be the deciding factor in releasing the files.
