Republican lawmakers have blocked a move that could have forced President Donald Trump's administration to release the files on Jeffrey Epstein's investigation.

House Republicans shut down a Democratic bid to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein files Monday night, as the MAGA base tears itself apart over the controversy. The House Rules Committee voted 6-5 against attaching a Democratic amendment to cryptocurrency legislation that would compel the Justice Department to release all documents related to Epstein on a publicly accessible website.
