The Epstein Files and US Political Landscape

• 🗳️ Congresswoman-elect Adelaida Halva, who has the final vote to push the discharge petition, has not yet been sworn in by Speaker Johnson.
• 🗣️ Republican Congressman Thomas Massie stated that the government is shut down while the House refuses to go back into session, as 218 votes exist to force a vote on releasing the files.

Allegations Against Other Powerful Figures

• 🔍 The DOJ informed President Trump that he is named in the Epstein files, and he is reportedly attempting to move past the investigation.
• 🤝 Trump, a long-time friend of Epstein, has not been charged with wrongdoing.
