Trump has faced growing resentment over the decision of his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to withhold information
Mike Johnson, speaker of the House, called for the justice department to make public documents related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking with Donald Trump over an issue that has roiled the president’s rightwing base.
It was a rare moment of friction between Trump and the speaker, a top ally on Capitol Hill, and came as the president faces growing backlash from conservatives who had expected him to make public everything known about Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while in federal custody as he faced sex-trafficking charges.
Earlier in the day, Republicans voted down an attempt by Democrats to insert language into legislation that would require files related to the Epstein case to be made public. But the minority party is determined to keep the issue alive, and Democrats on the House judiciary committee have demanded that its Republican chair, Trump ally Jim Jordan, hold a hearing with Bondi and her deputy as well as the leaders of the FBI to answer questions about Epstein.
And then he will be one step closer to being President Mike Johnson!

PFFFFFFFFF, they’re forgetting it’s 100% a cult of personality.
What Texan is holding his rifle in the air screaming “JOHNSON” or “VANCE” and slapping a big fat bumper sticker on his 4x4?
Just because you impeach Jessie James, it won’t make you Jessie James.
Absolutely. When HitlerPig assumes room temperature, there will be an all-out WAR for control of MAGA. That should be fun to watch.
Nah, if impeached (and found guilty by the Senate) Vance becomes president and picks his VP himself. Speaker of the house stays where they are
Hey now, there could have been some temptingly pleather couches on Epstein Island.
