Mike Johnson said he'd hold the vote next week.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/politics/epstein-files-house-vote

There is something fishy‼️He can delay this a bit but isn't. Why⁉️What if secretly, the Republicans in the house have been able to convince enough Rethugs to vote against it⁉️

What happens if the vote fails? Can the democrats bring it up again? If yes, after how long?

If no, then what! The seems can use it as campaign fodder for the mid terms. That's it? Trump escaped again⁉️⁉️

There's also a chance, Trump will, under false assertion of National Security, stamp the files as Top Secret.

The fight is far from over‼️‼️
