Epstein Victims Push for Document Release as House Debates Next Steps

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein are scheduled to hold a news conference with House members on September 3, 2025, advocating for the Justice Department to release all criminal investigative files related to the case. This effort has created tension within Congress, as House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated a vote to force document release is unnecessary following the House Oversight Committee's publication of over 33,000 pages of subpoenaed records. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, however, are proceeding with plans to force a House vote through a majority petition.
