OPINION:
At last, Democrats have latched onto something that promises to derail the entire Republican agenda: Jeffrey Epstein. This shady multimillionaire was first investigated for engaging in unlawful activities with underage girls two decades ago. Despite holding the levers of power for much of this period, liberals never called for transparency.
Their sudden interest in openness is a bit too convenient. Unwilling to cede control of the House floor to these malcontents, Speaker Mike Johnson is adjourning the House early to avoid a vote on legislation requiring production of Epstein documents within 30 days.
“Republicans won’t be lectured on ‘transparency’ by the same Democrats who orchestrated one of the most shameless and dangerous cover-ups in history — Biden’s obvious mental and physical decline,” the Louisiana Republican said.
More disclosures certainly would be welcome, and President Trump surely realizes he will continue taking a political beating the longer he holds off
