Mike Johnson, the House speaker, urged the justice department to release documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, marking a rare disagreement with Donald Trump. Trump is facing backlash from conservatives who expected him to disclose Epstein-related information. The justice department stated Epstein's death was a suicide and revealed there would be no public list of his clients. Following this, Johnson emphasized the need for transparency, criticizing attorney general Pam Bondi’s previous comments and pushing for a focus on critical priorities regarding the case. Republicans rejected efforts by Democrats to mandate the release of Epstein's files.
It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it, Johnson told Benny Johnson.
She needs to come forward and explain that to everybody. We need the DoJ focusing on the major priorities. So let's get this thing resolved.
