Johnson Says House Will Vote on Releasing Epstein Files

A petition seeking the release of Epstein-related files reached the support needed to bring legislation to a House vote. Speaker Mike Johnson was involved in the dispute over the vote’s timing. Left-leaning outlets emphasize Johnson’s delay and criticism of his handling of the vote, with some linking the fight to scrutiny of Trump and Republicans. Center outlets mostly explain the petition, vote timing and procedural next steps, while some report allegations over delayed seating or voting and political pressure. Right-leaning outlets foreground Republicans’ claim that Democrats blocked a faster vote to keep the issue alive.
