Pelosi Says "Release the Files" After Calling Epstein Fallout "Distraction"
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Pelosi reversed course to demand release of Epstein case files, criticizing Trump for not appointing a special prosecutor while House Democrats vote unanimously for disclosure.
- On Thursday, Democratic U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi of California called for the Trump administration to release the files, saying the Epstein fallout is a distraction from major issues.
- Last week, Trump's FBI and Department of Justice found 'no incriminating client list,' prompting Trump to urge supporters to move on and celebrate his administration's achievements.
- When asked, Pelosi said, `both the Epstein debate and Trump’s vision of refurbishing Alcatraz are distractions.`
- Proposing a floor vote, Ro Khanna sought to make the Epstein documents public, but House Rules Committee Republicans voted against the amendment, blocking a full House vote.
- Responding on Friday, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said, "Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless" in response to questions about the Epstein files, emphasizing ongoing progress in public safety and justice efforts.
