The 119th Congress faces significant standstill centered around the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. GOP leaders have halted a bipartisan resolution that would direct the Justice Department and FBI to disclose these files. This opposition stems from internal GOP conflicts, particularly over the binding nature of proposals. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna's resolution presents an initiative that would compel the President to act, contrasting with a rival non-binding GOP proposal. Consequently, the legislative process has ground to a halt, with the impending summer recess foreshadowing further delays in action.
