The House of Representatives will start its recess early in August to prevent the Republicans from being forced to vote on defends supported democratic linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
“There is no goal for the Congress to push an administration to do something that they are already doing,” Mike Johnson Chamber, R-La, said on Tuesday.
“And it is therefore for political games,” said Johnson about the efforts of the legislators to force the votes on the publication of the investigation files of the Ministry of Justice on the famous sexual offender Epstein and his condemned procedure Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Republicans, who control the majority of the room, canceled the votes that should take place on Thursday. The room will start its August recreation Wednesday afternoon, leaving a series of planned legislative votes at the table which were not linked to Epstein.
“We can both call for total transparency and also protect the victims,” said Johnson.
“And if you run Roughshod or do it too quickly, this is not what is happening,” he said. “But I am convinced that the Doj will do its job, the administration will do its job and we will do our job.”
The Trump administration, faced with a strong reaction to the decision of the Ministry of Justice to inform about a promise to release Epstein and Maxwell files, has taken several measures to mitigate this criticism in recent days.
The Attorney General Pam Bondi saw the MJ lawyers last week to ask federal judges to unshine the transcriptions of the procedures of the great jury linked to criminal affairs against Epstein and Maxwell.
On Tuesday, assistant prosecutor Todd Blanche said that he was addressing Maxwell’s defense lawyer to see if Maxwell “would be ready to speak with prosecutors” to see if she “has information on someone who has committed crimes against the victims”.
Blanche previously was a criminal defense lawyer for Trump when the president was charged in four separate cases after putting an end to his first mandate of the White House in January 2017.
