Republican lawmakers have warned President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi that withholding any documents relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case “would add fuel to the fire.”
The warning comes as Trump caved to pressure and signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act Wednesday evening, while Bondi fumbled her way through questions on how the Justice Department would proceed now that it has 30 days to release the files.
Bondi has changed her stance on the matter a number of times this year, prompting fierce criticism from the MAGA base and beyond.
There are concerns from both sides of the aisle that she could cite the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s ties to Democratic associates, ordered by Trump last week, as a reason to withhold the files.
“You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on but if you do a blanket hold, I think that they’re going to have a lot of people angry,” GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina told The Hill.
They all know what it says. They’re done covering up for him to save their seat from a primary. The whole team flipped, so they all have cover from his response. They’re not going down as a whole party for the sake of this guy’s ego. For the first time. This is a big change publicly, but im sure that a majority have just been waiting for the page to turn on this guy’s popularity.
Political wind socks.
I call bullshit on this. Call me when they vote to impeach him. Until then this is just more of the same shenanigans.
I think you have misunderstood me. Impeaching him wouldn’t help them keep their seat. The Epstein issue polls different.
