House could override Mike Johnson and force Jeffrey Epstein vote
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HE'LL
HAVE LIVE REPORTS RIGHT HERE
ON WRAL.
>> LAWMAKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE ARE DEMANDING SWIFT
RELEASE OF ALL ON CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
RELATED TO CHILD OFFENDER
JEFFREY EPSTEIN HOUSE SPEAKER
MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE WOULD
RATHER GIVE THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION MORE TIME TO
DISCLOSE WHAT HE CALLS CREDIBLE
FILES. AMY KILEY REPORTS SOME
REPUBLICANS ARE TEAMING UP WITH
DEMOCRATS TO TRY TO OVERRIDE
THE WILL OF THE HOUSE SPEAKER.
>> WHEN THE SPEAKER STANDS IN
THE WAY OF JUSTICE AND
TRANSPARENCY. THIS IS HOW WE
GET JUSTICE, AN EFFORT TO FORCE
A HOUSE VOTE ON RELEASING MORE
EPSTEIN FILES APPEARS ABLE TO
SUCCEED. IT WOULD LET LAWMAKERS
DECIDE WHETHER TO GIVE THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 30 DAYS
TO DISCLOSE AN CLASSIFIED
MATERIALS. THE DISCHARGE
PETITION IS FROM REPUBLICAN
REPRESENTATIVE THOMAS MASSIE
AND DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE
RO KHANNA. IT WOULD NEED 218
SIGNATURES AND DEMOCRATS COULD
SUPPLY ALL BUT 6. WHAT ARE THEY
HIDING FROM THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE?
>> RELEASE THE FILES ENOUGH.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY
BACKED THE MEASURE TO GET IT
OVER THE FINISH LINE. MANY FACE
PRESSURE FROM THEIR BASE.
THEY DON'T WANT THINGS COVERED
UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES
TO THE MOST WELL KNOWN.
>> CONVICTED PEDOPHILE IN
MODERN-DAY HISTORY 1000 HAVE
COME OUT. I THINK SOME LIKED A
GOOD. IT'S GOOD MEDICINE.
THE PETITION HAS TO WAIT UNTIL
AFTER THE 5 WEEK AUGUST RECESS
DUE TO PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS,
HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON
COULD BRING A RELATED
NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO THE
FLOOR THIS WEEK, BUT HE SAYS
HE WON'T ARGUING THE PRESIDENT
IS TAKING STEPS ALREADY ASKED
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO REQUEST
THE GRAND JURY FOUND THAT THE
COURT YOU NEED THE
ADMINISTRATION HAVE THE SPACE
TO DO WHAT IT IS DOING.
>> IT FURTHER CONGRESSIONAL
ACTION IS NECESSARY OR
APPROPRIATE TO LOOK AT THAT.
>> AS AMY KILEY REPORTING AND
EARLIER WE TOLD YOU THE DOJ
WILL MEET WITH EPSTEIN
CO-CONSPIRATOR GHISLANE MAXWELL
IN THE COMING DAYS. NO WORD YET
