Rules Chair: GOP Won't Block Massie's Epstein Discharge Effort in Committee

House Republicans, led by Virginia Foxx, will not oppose Rep. Thomas Massie's effort to force a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein files through a discharge petition, which has bipartisan support and aims to bypass GOP leadership. Meanwhile, House and Senate are also dealing with government funding negotiations and other legislative issues, including a potential government shutdown and White House funding rescissions. Rep. Nadler announced his retirement, and the political landscape is focused on transparency, accountability, and avoiding a government shutdown.
