US Congress postpones vote on resolution related to Epstein case

The U.S. Congress will not hold a vote on the resolution concerning the Jeffrey Epstein case before its August recess, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on July 21.

Speaking to reporters, Johnson said the administration needs space to continue its ongoing work on the matter. He added that Congress would consider further action if it becomes necessary or appropriate, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

“My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing, and if further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we’ll look at that, but I don’t think we’re at that point right now, because we agree with the president,” Johnson said.

He noted that “there is no daylight between the House Republicans … the House and the president on maximum transparency” in this matter.

The Speaker added that Trump “all the credible files” to be made public, reminding that the president himself asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to present grand jury testimonies related to this case.
