A bipartisan effort in the United States House of Representatives is on the cusp of forcing a vote to release previously withheld government records connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The mechanism is a discharge petition—which, once it receives 218 signatures, compels the House Speaker to schedule the vote. With the planned swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) poised to provide the crucial 218th signature, the measure could move to the floor in early December if no procedural hurdles arise..That said, the maneuver is rooted in broader partisan and procedural tensions. Speaker Mike Johnson faces criticism for delaying Grijalva's swearing-in amid a House recess, which opponents say was meant to stall the petition and avoid a vote. Johnson maintains the petition is redundant given an ongoing House oversight investigation. Even if the vote proceeds in the House, significant obstacles remain: the Senate and the White House would need to approve the measure for full document release.The showdown  is set.    Who will blink first?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Here's how the House battle over the Epstein files will play out - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
