Unmasking Scandals: The GOP’s Continued Battle with the Epstein Files

House Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly stated that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is genuine, counter to former President Trump's assertion that it is a 'hoax'.
In efforts to gain transparency, a Republican-led subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee has pushed forward a subpoena for all Justice Department files regarding Epstein. The move displays a split in Trump's party, as not all members align with dismissing the case.
The political unrest intensifies as records potentially linking Trump to the investigation have come to light, reported by The Wall Street Journal. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informed Trump of his involvement appearing in files back in May, exacerbating the ongoing crisis engulfing his administration.
