The monthslong battle over whether to release the Epstein files is poised to end not with bitter Republican infighting, but with a lot of Republican unity.
The House is set to vote this week on a bill that would force the Department of Justice to release all documents relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Four Republicans, led by Rep. Thomas Massie, joined Democrats in the monthslong effort to compel a vote — as the rest of the GOP conference blasted their crusade as “moot,” a waste of time and a Democrat-manufactured “hoax.”
But as of Monday evening, it was a foregone conclusion that the vast majority — if not all — of the House GOP would back the legislation.
