The Republican majority on the House Rules Committee voted against allowing the amendment to be added to the cryptocurrency-related "Genius Act."

Democrats have seized on the issue since the DOJ and FBI released a joint memo July 6 stating there was “no incriminating ‘client list’” and “no credible evidence” that Epstein blackmailed co-conspirators who sexually abused underaged girls provided by him, Axios first reported.

House Republicans blocked a Democratic-backed effort late Monday evening to require the Department of Justice to release all records related to the convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. The House Rules Committee voted 5 to 7 to reject an amendment that would force Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish any “records or evidence” regarding the federal government’s prosecution and incarceration of Epstein.
