Mike Johnson, the Sperter of the US House, told reporters on Wednesday that he will put the Bill related to the Late Sex Disease of Flowterin Epstein in the house of the week.
“We put that on the floor for [a] The full vote next week, we will soon get there,” the speaker told reporters, as the chamber convened to advance the law to open the government.
Johnson, who opposes the bill, gave more time after swearing in Arizena Demalva in September Rijalva, who died in March.
Grijalva vows to clear way for vote to release Epstein files as he becomes 218th and final signatory In a petition to dismiss That automatically prompted a House vote on legislation that would have asked the Justice Department for the files. In his comments on the floor on Wednesday, Griilva said: “Justice cannot wait another day, Adeante.”
Under the rules governing petitions, Johnson is not required to hold a vote until early December, so his announcement that the vote will take place next week is earlier than expected.
Republicans are reportedly clamoring for “a significant chunk of the conference” to budget for the bill, according to politician. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican representative, Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican representative, and Rob Beleshanican representative, all said they would do it.
Epstein died in 2019, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, in what the government said was a suicide. Although Trump has long spoken of conspiracy theories that he is at the center of a larger plot for the arrival of the case related to the investigation of his activities.
Although the bill passed the house, it still needs to pass the Senate and be signed by Trump. Senate leaders have shown no sign that they will bring it up for a vote, and Trump has declared the effort a “Democrat Hoax”.
