Proposal required the Trump administration to disclose information about the case of sexual criminal
The mayor of US representatives, Mike Johnson, blocked the vote on resolutions, including congressmen from his own Republican party, who required the government to release information about the case of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Having anticipated the five-week vacation of the congressmen, Johnson reiterated his opposition to any legislative initiative on the Epstein case, which is causing tensions between the White House and Republican congressmen (themselves under pressure from their supporters).
This is the case of the Republican Thomas Massie, who presented a resolution requiring the disclosure of documents about the case, but will not be voted on by the opposition of Johnson, who claims to be a “political scam” promoted by the democrats and that the dissemination of gross information would endanger the victims of Crimes attributed to Epstein.
Johnson denied any attempt to cover up the case and denounced a “shameless” democratic opposition that he said, he wants to “explore this question,” when these documents could have published while in power in the last four years.
Thomas Massie has the support of the Democratic opposition, which sees in this case a way of embarrassing even more Donald Trump, who has maintained close relations with Epstein for many years and has made visible efforts to distract public opinion, unsuccessfully.
On Tuesday, Thomas Massie accused Johson of wanting to force Republican legislators to “bury his head in the sand and let the Trump administration try, perhaps, to soften all this, providing some information gradually.”
Johnson announced on Tuesday in Washington that a month’s stoppage will start earlier than usual, to give the White House “space” to spread the information about Epstein.
Under pressure from conspiracy segments of his political base to disclose more information about the Epstein case, a sexual criminal with whom he maintained close relations for decades, Trump denied knowledge or involvement in Epstein’s crimes and said he ended friendship for years.
On Tuesday, Trump avoided in the White House questions about the decision of the Justice Department to question Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of helping the millionaire sexually abuse minor girls and now has a long prison sentence.
Instead, she took advantage of a new report by her information director, Tulsi Gabbard, who launches questions about the long-established conclusions about Moscow interference in the 2016 elections to accuse former President Barack Obama (2009-2017) of leading a conspiracy to delegitimize her electoral victory.
Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbub has already reacted, classifying as “ridiculous” Trump’s statement.
Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche, said on Tuesday that, for the first time, the Justice Department will hear Ghislaine Maxwell.
The announcement came when Attorney General Pam Bondi is being criticized by Trump’s most fervent supporters, who ask him to fulfill the promise of publicizing all evidence of the deceased businessman’s crimes.
The unexpected crisis between the members of the Make America Great Again (Make America, ”” make America Big again “) by Trump hatted after the FBI and the Justice Department concluded, following an investigation, which the entrepreneur after all had a” famous customer list “to blackmail and confirmed that death in 2019 was a suicide.
The president’s supporters expressed dissatisfaction with the Republican government, which he had promised during the election campaign to publicize the list of clients, an alleged agenda of Epstein’s accomplices, which includes influential celebrities and politicians and has been the focus of various far-right conspiracy theories.
Trump – who recently defended Bondi’s “great work” – ordered the Justice Department to disclose all “reliable evidence” in this case to appease the support base.
