House Republicans are facing constituent backlash over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, as they head back to their districts for the month-long August recess.
House Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers home last week without bringing a resolution that would demand the Trump administration provide more transparency on the multiple investigations and civil actions into the late-financier. House Democrats, latching on to the issue as a political weapon, have made multiple efforts to shine the spotlight on the issue.
The Trump administration and Congressional Republicans have faced heavy backlash for its handling of the case, particularly related to the late financier’s alleged “client list,” which the administration says does not exist.
Republican House leaders have promised to take action on the Epstein files when the chamber returns to Capitol Hill in September if necessary, but Johnson claimed last week that he did not feel Congress needed to act on the topic immediately because the administration was working to provide more transparency on the issue.
