Committee Democrats had planned to force a vote on a resolution calling for the public release of Epstein-related documents

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington after the week’s legislative agenda was upended by Republican members who are clamoring for a vote.

The president’s avid followers have backed him through many controversies. But more than a third of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
