TELL THE U.S. HOUSE: Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson are trying to stonewall the public on the Epstein Files because Trump is NAMED in the files. Johnson made excuses, introduced a phony resolution, and, when no one was buying his distractions, he shut down the House early for summer recess. We can’t let Trump hide. Sign the petition: Force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files!

<p><strong>The DOJ told Trump in May that he is named in the Epstein Files.</strong><sup><small>1</small></sup> It’s no wonder why Trump and his MAGA allies have been trying to block the full release of information on Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.</p>
<p>First, Trump loyalist Pam Bondi announced that the DOJ had no further information of interest to release relating to Epstein’s crimes.<sup><small>2</small></sup> Then, as the heat turned up on Trump, <strong>Speaker Johnson got so desperate to shield Trump that he shut down the House early for summer recess.</strong><sup><small>3</small></sup></p>
<p>Trump and Johnson are afraid of a discharge petition in the House that would force a full vote on releasing the Epstein Files. The public deserves to know what information law enforcement has on Epstein’s crimes, and how Trump was involved.</p>

<p>Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are leading the discharge petition in the House. If enough Representatives sign on, it will force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.<sup><small>4</small></sup> Rep. Khanna said, “The bill that I introduced with Massie helped <strong>unravel Trump and has sent him into a panic</strong> and has put us on the side of the people and for accountability.”<sup><small>5</small></sup></p>
<p>Right before Johnson shut down the House, Massie said <strong>Johnson told Republicans to essentially “stick their heads in the sand about this Epstein thing.”</strong><sup><small>6</small></sup></p>
<p>The Massie-Khanna effort is the only real way for Congress to truly address Epstein’s crimes. It would release the files in a thoughtful and responsible manner and let us see for ourselves <strong>what the government, and Trump, are hiding.</strong></p>
