House Democrats are launching a bid to subpoena President Donald Trump’s Justice Department for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

OBAMA'S REBUKE: Former President Barack Obama’s office issued a rebuke of Trump yesterday over his accusation that his predecessor committed “treason” and rigged the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

The case of Jeffrey Epstein, sex offender and former friend of the president, has blown up into a major headache for the White House.

Democrats plan to argue that not releasing the Epstein files means Republicans are protecting the rich and powerful at voters’ expense.

A remarkable scene is playing out in the US House of Representatives Wednesday: In an effort to avoid votes on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, Republicans are shutting it down early and heading out on a weekslong August recess.

Tillis' Wednesday comments come as the Epstein files saga continues to cause drama on Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would end the legislative session early before Congress' August recess and postponed a committee vote on bipartisan legislation that would call for the release of the Epstein files.

Speaker Mike Johnson is leading the chorus of GOP voices accusing Democrats of a double standard in their calls for transparency in Jeffrey Epstein's case.

Trump is lashing out at Rupert Murdoch, the owner of The Wall Street Journal, saying he can't wait to fight him in court over the newspaper's decision to publish an article reporting that Trump wrote a lewd message to Epstein in 2003 as part of a birthday surprise for the disgraced financier.
