Republicans on the House Rules Committee, after negotiations with GOP leaders, will tee up a vote on a resolution calling for the release of information related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, two sources tell The Hill, as the conference grapples with GOP frustrations over the Trump administration’s handling of the saga.
The effort comes as a highly anticipated vote on legislation to claw back billions of dollars of federal funding stalls in the House amid the debate over the Epstein files. Lawmakers are staring down a Friday deadline to send President Trump the package, or else the Trump administration must release the funds.
The plan, according to the sources and as first reported by The Hill, is for the House Rules Committee to meet at 6 p.m. and advance a new resolution calling for some information related to Epstein to be released. The measure would be similar to the one introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the sources said, but with some differences.
One source said it would have “some teeth,” after reports surfaced that any legislation moved by the panel would be nonbinding. It would move under a separate rule from the rescissions package.
