Jeffrey Epstein files: Republican rebels square off against GOP leaders. What are they hiding? https://t.co/zrCq1pjHHs

Republican rebels on Wednesday ramped up the pressure on their party to force the Trump administration to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein, hosting victims of the convicted sex offender at the Capitol, where they delivered harrowing pleas for Congress to act.
The dramatic demonstration seemed to leave most Republicans unmoved, however, and GOP leaders stepped up their own efforts to defuse the Epstein controversy by approving an alternative bill designed to bolster an ongoing investigation by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The competing maneuvers have created a kind of stalemate — at least for now — between the clashing GOP factions in a debate that’s ruptured their party and infuriated the MAGA loyalists who helped propel President Trump into the White House for a second time.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Eric Bolling ask Trump to release Epstein files.
BOLLING: Trump can prove it's a hoax by releasing it. Let us decide if it's a hoax or not.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It's not a hoax.

I’m committed to doing everything possible for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
Including exposing the cabal of rich and powerful elites that enabled this.

The Epstein sex perps were mostly Dems.
That's the weird thing. You'd think Trump would be all over this case, but no.
Here's his chance to nail the Clintons, but no.
He's compromised, and I think there's a particular country compromising him. https://t.co/wXkLcFcYLR
