House GOP leaders will hold their weekly press conference Tuesday morning after backlash around the Trump administration’s handling of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s files has complicated the lower chamber’s workflow in recent days.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced Monday that the House would not take up a resolution calling for the release of more Epstein documents before the August recess, despite calls from some within the Republican Party who have pressed for more transparency. Instead, Johnson said he wanted to give President Trump and his administration more time to respond.
The turmoil is also likely to spill over into spending negotiations as another government shutdown deadline inches closer.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
