Speaker Johnson says House won’t vote on Epstein resolution before recess

Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the House will not vote on a resolution demanding the release of Jeffrey Epstein‑related documents before the August recess. He said the measure was advanced last week amid GOP pressure, but he wants to give the Trump administration more time to act. Johnson emphasized alignment with the president on transparency and dismissed a discharge petition effort by some Republicans as a political stunt. Frustration remains among GOP members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who warned that the party’s base demands full disclosure, not partial information.
