We have some major breaking news. After months of the Epstein files being blocked by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and other House Republicans,

Republican Representative Thomas Massey has officially filed a discharge petition to not only release the files,

but to force the hand of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Now, keep in mind, Congress is just now returning

from an August recess today on September 2nd. In fact, Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,

was so scared of this even going up for a vote that he called for a recess two weeks early,

meaning Congress was effectively shut down. no negotiations, no votes, no progress

throughout the entire month. Now, in this clip that I'm about to play of Speaker of the House,

Mike Johnson, he essentially admits that even when they come back throughout September,

he refuses to put this up for a vote. He's not even going to put it up for a vote to see what the people want, what the representatives want. So that's when today, Representative Thomas Massey says, hey, we're coming back and we're filing a discharge petition immediately. This says, I am in D.C. and I will file the discharge petition today, September 2nd, at approximately 2 p.m. when Congress

officially returns from the August recess. At that point, we can begin collecting the 218 signatures

necessary to force a vote on binding legislation to release the Epstein files. Now, if you don't know what a discharge petition is, it's a pretty powerful tool.

Normally, the Speaker of the House, so Mike Johnson, is the one who controls what bills, actually come up for a vote.

But if 218 lawmakers, a simple majority for the House, if 218 lawmakers sign a discharge petition from any

party, any party, it rips that control away from the leadership and it just forces a bill

on the floor and they will then vote for an investigation or it would compel the Justice

Department to release the investigative files

that have already been collected on the Epstein files. Democrats are all in. We know that Representative

Roecona has been leading a charge. He's been co-authoring many bills with Massey and other

Democrats. Massey's a Republican, but he's been co-authoring bills, and Republicans have

been the ones holding this up.

Democrats have been on board.
