House Republicans DEFY Trump – Vote WITH Democrats to Subpoena Epstein Files

🚨 Breaking News: House Subpoenas DOJ in Epstein Scandal – Trump’s Worst Nightmare 🚨

Welcome to the Josh Lafazan Show!

Today, we’re diving into one of the most explosive political developments of the year. A historic move by a bipartisan House subcommittee has shattered the silence around the Epstein case, leaving Trump and his allies scrambling. For the first time ever, a House subcommittee voted 8-2 to subpoena the Justice Department for all remaining documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. This bold move marks a political defeat for Trump, whose name is reportedly mentioned in the sealed documents, and the scandal is starting to fracture the GOP from within.

🚨 SEGMENT 1: HOUSE SUBPOENAES DOJ — AGAINST TRUMP’S WISHES
Let’s get to the facts. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance voted to subpoena critical documents from the DOJ — documents related to Epstein’s imprisonment, death, and prosecution. This includes:

FBI case files

Bureau of Prisons records

Documents from the Southern District of New York

Sealed material involving Epstein’s associates

This vote is not just symbolic; it’s a defiant stand against decades of secrecy and a major political blow to Donald Trump.

🚨 SEGMENT 2: WHY TRUMP AND JOHNSON TRIED TO BLOCK THIS
Why did Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson try to block this release? Simple. Trump’s name is in the files. The DOJ warned Trump in May that his name appeared in the Epstein records, which led to a coordinated effort to suppress these documents. But the tide is turning.

🚨 SEGMENT 3: REPUBLICANS REVOLT — THE VOTE HE COULDN’T STOP
In a shocking turn, several Republicans broke ranks with Trump and Speaker Johnson, voting in favor of the subpoena. This wasn’t supposed to happen, but under pressure from voters, more Republicans are speaking out against the cover-up. The cracks in the GOP are starting to show.

🚨 SEGMENT 4: MAGA BASE TURNS ON TRUMP OVER EPSTEIN COVER-UP
The MAGA base is furious. Once loyal supporters are now calling out Trump for his hypocrisy, accusing him of blocking the release of the Epstein files, even after promising transparency.

🚨 SEGMENT 5: POLLING PROVES TRUMP IS LOSING THIS FIGHT
Polling shows that 79% of Americans want the Epstein files released. Even 75% of Republicans agree that the government is covering up the truth about Epstein. Trump’s handling of the scandal has cost him the trust of the American people, including his own base.

🚨 SEGMENT 6: THE 2026 MIDTERM IMPACT — AND THE CRACKS IN THE GOP
The Epstein scandal is putting Republicans in a tough spot for the 2026 midterms. Republicans in swing districts are starting to panic as they fear being dragged down by their association with Trump’s scandal. Mike Johnson’s speakership is also in jeopardy as more GOP members break away.

🚨 SEGMENT 7: WHAT COMES NEXT — THE BATTLE OVER THE TRUTH
What happens next? The DOJ must respond to the subpoena. Will more Republicans join the call for transparency? Will Democrats push for a floor vote to release the files publicly? And, most importantly, will victims finally get the justice they deserve?

🎤 OUTRO
Here’s the bottom line:
✅ Trump’s name is in the Epstein files.
✅ The GOP tried to cover it up.
✅ Now, they’re being exposed by their own base, their own members, and the truth.

This week, the American people took one step closer to justice.
