Republicans are putting pressure on Trump

Release of Epstein files

Trump’s opponents are getting serious

A Republican representative pushed for the Epstein dossier to be made public. He was summoned to the White House.

Pressure on US President Donald Trump to make all of Epstein’s documents public is increasing. So far, the Trump administration has only made public some of the documents, but now the law should force the government to release the entire document. Trump apparently summoned Republican Lauren Boebert to the White House on Wednesday, who advocated making the entire explosive document public.

As the New York Times reported, officials from the Justice Department and FBI tried to change his mind. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed the meeting and called it a good example of how the administration works with members of Congress.

But Trump doesn’t seem to be succeeding. Boebert is one of a group of Republican women pushing proposals from Democratic and Republican lawmakers to Congress. This requires lawmakers to vote on legislation that would decide on the full publication of Epstein’s documents. This application requires at least 218 signatures.

According to New York Times research, Trump had called Boebert on Tuesday and may have tried to change her mind. He is also said to have contacted Republican Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who also supported the motion. He had a very personal reason: “When I was 14, I was sexually assaulted by a friend of one of my coaches, and at 16 I was sexually assaulted. A few months later, I was the victim of a violent attack. At 17, I dropped out of school because I had nothing left to give. But God helped me turn my life around,” Mace said in a public statement on Wednesday. “Two years ago, I was shocked, disappointed and embarrassed because I was again a victim of sexual and domestic violence.”

MAGA activist and lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene previously advocated for the publication. He has long been considered a die-hard Trump supporter. But in Epstein’s case, he demanded transparency and demanded that the President release all documents.

On Wednesday night, there was another blow for Trump. Due to the government shutdown, Democratic Party successor Adelita Grijalva had to wait seven weeks before she could be sworn in to her new office. His father, Raúl Grijalva, previously held the chair of Arizona State. He died in March and his daughter won a by-election in September.
