WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington after the week’s legislative agenda was upended by Republican members who are clamoring for a vote.
Representative Ted Lieu said “Trump is all over the Epstein files.” He called the Republican lawmakers’ move “a coverup of epic proportions.”
A Wall Street Journal reporter was slated to be a part of the traveling press pool for President Trump's Scotland trip.

The move comes after The Journal reported that the president sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday card in 2003 with a drawing of a naked woman.

It was not clear whether the release would shed any new light on King’s life, the Civil Rights Movement or his murder.
