Democrats’ Trump-Epstein Narrative Evaporates as They Block Immediate Release of Files [WATCH]

Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee moved for unanimous consent on Wednesday to bring all remaining Jeffrey Epstein files directly to the House floor for immediate release.

The request was blocked, preventing the measure from advancing.

Burchett said his goal was to avoid delays by sending the remaining documents straight to the full House.

In a video message recorded after leaving the chamber, he described the blocked request.

“To get the Epstein files, get it straight to the floor, just to cut out all this nonsense,” he said.

“They blocked it, oddly enough.”

He said the documents have been in Congress’s possession for several years.

“Now here, they’ve had it for four years, and… obviously, if there’s something there about Trump, they would have released it,” Burchett said.

Burchett added that House members who have recently said they support full transparency did not allow the motion to proceed.

“They’ve had it for four years, and they obviously, if there was something there about Trump, they would have released it. And now they’re all, ‘Let’s get it out! Let’s get it out!’ Well, I just made a motion to bring it straight to the dadgum floor, and they blocked it.”

“This is politics,” he said.

“It has nothing to do with doing what’s right. I mean, it’s Washington, D.C., to a T. And again, they ought to be ashamed of themselves, but they’re probably not.”

Members of Congress had recently released three emails related to the Epstein matter.

Democrats intentionally redacted the name of the “victim” in the Epstein emails they released.

The unreacted version shows that it was Virginia Guiffre.

Following that release, House Republicans responded by making available a larger tranche of documents totaling approximately 20,000 pages.

Democrats whine about “releasing the files,” but they only cherry-pick when they have them to generate clickbait.

The dispute over document releases followed competing interpretations of the contents of the initial emails.

Lawmakers who supported releasing them said they demonstrated the need for further transparency.

Other lawmakers argued that the emails had been taken out of context. The full set of documents was later published in response.

The sequence of releases has prompted calls from some members for all remaining materials to be made available at once rather than selectively.

Burchett said the full set of Epstein files should be disclosed without delay and that his unanimous consent request was intended to facilitate that process.

Democrats demand release of files, Republicans agree, propose a bill, only to have a Democrat judge and Dems politicians block it. Dems does this, hoping that people will believe Trump has something to hide, while they’re the ones blocking the release of the files in the… pic.twitter.com/cwWyuDjXJM
