Senate Republicans are not happy with House conservatives they view as hijacking the congressional agenda to make the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein-related files their burning focus.

GOP senators say the matter should be left to President Trump and the Department of Justice and want House lawmakers to pay more attention to finding a way to avoid a government shutdown at the end of September. Instead, House Republicans on the Rules Committee have brought their chamber to a partial standstill by refusing to vote down Democratic amendments to force the publication of Epstein-related files.

The House is about to leave town for a five-week recess despite having passed only two of the regular appropriations bills for fiscal 2026.

“You can’t do anything because of Epstein,” one senior GOP senator fumed. “Wow, what a way to shut it down. … How does it happen?

And we want the truth about Epstein and clearly the administration is hiding something. If a democratic president did half of what 47 has done, your heads would implode and you would spend 24/7 on investigations. So you need to STFU

Not hard to figure out. They're complicit in trumps heinous crimes. They're afraid of being primaried, so they'll do anything to forestall the release of "the epstein files" which would anger their dear leader. There's a lot of evidence there including seized videos and pictures. trump will say or do anything to change the subject. I expect the government will shut down in september over this.
