I flew back to DC to appear on both @MeetThePress and @ThisWeekABC this morning with @RepRoKhanna to talk about our bipartisan legislation to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Tune in to their shows today.
Victims deserve justice and Americans deserve transparency.
I have questions after watching this video: Why would releasing the Epstein files cause political pain to congressmen, does avoiding political pain take priority over justice, and how exactly is the Speaker being prosecuted by a vote on the Epstein files?
.@RepGregMurphy, if I misrepresented why GOP leadership holds pro-forma sessions, please elaborate.
The American people deserve to know that these gavel-in/gavel-out sessions of Congress are convened to prevent President Trump from ever making recess appointments.
Are there people who are so powerful and politically connected that they can operate outside the law?
Making America Great Again requires transparency and justice.
Congress recessed to avoid the Epstein issue, but when we return, I’ll be forcing a vote.
The Speaker of the House recessed Congress early yesterday for a month to avoid dealing with the Epstein issue.
Mr. Speaker, the American people won’t forget. My legislation isn’t going away. It’ll be right here when we return and I’ll force the vote using a discharge petition.
I see some people are excited @realDonaldTrump can make recess appointments to fill out his staff now that Congress has recessed for August.
Bad news: @SpeakerJohnson and Leader Thune plan to convene-and-adjourn every 4 or 5 days to block Trump from making those appointments.
ICYMI: Yesterday I joined @SchmittNYC on @NEWSMAX's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" to discuss the Epstein files.
The American people voted for transparency so I’m forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.
