Speaker Mike Johnson has shut down the House early to block a vote calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In response, 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton released the following statement:

”If you’re one of 17 million Americans about to lose their health care, House Republicans are satisfied they got the job done and they’re ready to go home. House Speaker Mike Johnson just sent them on vacation to dodge a vote on the release of the Epstein files.

“Conspiracy theories have taken over the modern Republican Party and now, they are coming back to bite them. This is why facts matter. Americans deserve to know if their party boy president is on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list and any House Republican complicit in this cover-up will be held accountable at the ballot box in 2026.”
