Summary

President Trump is angrily urging Republicans not to join Democrats in pushing for release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. But all of a sudden, with the discharge petition set to force a House vote, things are rapidly going in the wrong direction for Trump. In a surprise, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene now predicts that the number of Republicans who will vote to release the files will be “a lot higher” than anyone expects. If the GOP defectors hit truly sizable numbers, as suddenly looks likely, it will be a bombshell with terrible implications for Trump, ramping up the pressure across the board in any number of ways. But the process that’s about to unfold is complex. So we talked to Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, a high profile voice throughout this saga. She explains what it’s like to talk personally with Epstein’s victims, why Republicans are finding it harder to resist pressure, what Democrats will do next to keep the story alive, and why this will keep getting worse for Trump until the truth comes out in the end.

0:00.0	This is the Daily Blast from the New Republic, produced and presented by the DSR Network.
0:16.5	I'm your host, Greg Sargent.
0:32.5	President Donald Trump is raging at Republicans, urging them not to join Democrats in pushing for release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
0:35.1	But all of a sudden, evidence is mounting that things are going in the
0:38.3	wrong direction for Trump, with many more Republicans poised to jump on board than expected.
0:44.7	Representative Marjorie Taylor Green is now predicting that the number of Republicans who will
0:49.2	vote to release the Epstein files next week will be a lot higher than the current four Republicans who are already
0:55.0	a public yes. That would be a huge problem for Trump. So we've been thinking, what happens then?
1:01.6	Will that cause a snowballing effect that ends up cracking White House and GOP opposition?
1:06.9	The process that's about to unfold is dicey and unpredictable, so we're working through it all with Representative Yasamine Ansari of Arizona, who's been a high-profile voice all throughout this.
1:18.7	Congresswoman, thank you so much for coming on.
1:21.7	Thanks, Greg. Thank you for having me.
1:24.0	So we now have emails from Jeffrey Epstein that are a problem for Trump. In 2011, Epstein wrote to his accomplice, Gillen Maxwell, that one of his victims, quote, spent hours at my house with Trump. In 2019, Epstein wrote about Trump that, quote, of course he knew about the girls as he asked Glenn to stop.
1:45.1	Trump clearly knew a lot more about Epstein and probably his sex trafficking as well than he's
1:50.6	admitted. Congresswoman, we have a lot more new information as well. Can you quickly sum up what
1:55.0	we know now and what jumps out about it for you? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, first of all,
2:00.6	I think that everything that we have
2:02.7	learned from the 23,000 pages that came through a subpoena to the Epstein State, which is different
2:08.7	than the Epstein files that we need from the Department of Justice, they, you know, the back and
2:14.8	forth, the emails over 15 years really make clear that what is happening
2:20.1	right now is an egregious and massive cover-up by Donald Trump personally and by his White
2:25.6	House and his administration. Donald Trump has been lying over and over again to the American
