Texas Democrat seeks to force Epstein vote ahead of expected passage of new map

(The Hill) Texas Democrats are looking to put Republicans on defense ahead of the expected passage of a GOP-friendly map by putting an amendment to a vote concerning the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu (D) is introducing an amendment that would allow a new House map to take effect only after Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly releases files related to the disgraced financier.

Wu’s amendment says the maps won’t be adopted until Bondi “makes publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys’ Offices, that relate to Jeffrey Epstein.”
