Senate Republicans defeat Chuck Schumer push to force release of Epstein files
(NBC News) WASHINGTON — The Republican-led Senate narrowly voted Wednesday to defeat an amendment introduced by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to compel the Justice Department to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The vote was 51-49 in favor of tabling the amendment. Two Republicans — Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri — joined all 47 Democrats in voting against tabling the amendment.
“My position has long been I think we ought to release those files and trust the American people," Hawley told reporters, "just like we did with the MLK files and the JFK files.”
