The mayor of the United States, Republican Mike Johnson, decided to anticipate parliamentary recess on Tuesday (22). The Louisiana Republican sent parliamentarians home before the five -week summer recess, which should start only on July 24.
The measure happens precisely at a time of greater tension on the disclosure of files of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Democrats and even some Republicans considered interrupting legislative work to make room for the archives to become public.
On the subject, Johnson said in a press conference: “Let’s not play political games with it,” before choosing to shorten the agenda and end votes ahead of expected.
