Speaker Mike Johnson's Press Conference on the Epstein Files Vote — Says Releasing unredacted files could harm survivors, and National Security, but he supports the measure with caveats for protections.
- Johnson accuses Democrats of prioritizing a "political show vote" on the Epstein files instead of substantive work.
- He claims Democrats have done "nothing for the victims" over the past four years and are now "misleading the American people" to cover up their failures.
- He frames the vote as a distraction tactic by Democrats, particularly to target President Donald Trump, asserting that Trump has "nothing to do with" Epstein's crimes.
—— "Meanwhile, Democrats solely focused on a political SHOW VOTE on the Epstein files. After FOUR YEARS of doing nothing for the victims, they’ve spent the last few weeks misleading the American people to cover up their own failures."
—— "They're doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not."
—— "Epstein is their entire game plan, so we're going to take that weapon out of their hands."
- He warns that the bill could "carelessly dump thousands of documents without proper protections for the innocent," potentially harming Epstein's victims.
- Emphasizes the need for justice for victims while protecting their privacy and innocent parties.
—— "This morning, I laid out the simple truth of how we got here, why this vote is happening today, and the position of House Republicans."
—— "Epstein's victims deserve justice."
—— "We must be protecting victims."
- Johnson affirms Republicans' commitment to "maximum transparency," stating they have "always been about that."
- He announces his personal support for the bill, saying he will vote yes, and urges moving forward to "get this done and move it on."
- He references ongoing House Oversight Committee investigations that have already released thousands of documents, calling the vote somewhat redundant but necessary to neutralize Democratic tactics.
- Releasing unredacted files could harm survivors, but he supports the measure with caveats for protections.
—— "We want maximum transparency. We have always been about that."
• Johnson warned of potential harm to survivors of Jeffrey Epstein if the full Epstein files are released, warning that the discharge petition would 'carelessly dump thousands of documents without proper protections for the innocent.'"
"Let's just get this done and move it on."
