A House vote is expected on Nov. 18 on legislation to force the Department of Justice to release more files related to convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

It comes less than a week after Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson bowed to mounting pressure to schedule a vote following a bipartisan group of lawmakers’ use of an obscure petition to bypass House leadership opposition to bringing the matter to the floor.

The legislation in question, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, has sparked turmoil within the president’s party, as several GOP lawmakers publicly side with the many Democrats pushing for its passage. Among the most vocal is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose support for releasing Epstein files has contributed to a public feud with President Donald Trump.
