REPORT: Speaker Mike Johnson is already preparing Americans for the possibility that they’ll never see the Epstein files released in full, insisting that unredacted disclosure would endanger national security and expose agencies like the CIA and NSA. Critics argue that this is the same excuse used for decades to shield powerful people, and Johnson’s warning feels less like genuine caution and more like laying the groundwork for a cover-up. In his briefing, he claimed the DOJ “can’t” declassify material created by intelligence agencies and called it “dangerous” to force disclosure. His comment triggered immediate backlash from those who say the intelligence ties are precisely why the files must be released, not buried. Outrage grew when Johnson revealed he had already brought in Senator John Thune to stall the process in the Senate. Even Benny Johnson, usually supportive of GOP leadership, said he’s “sick of it,” warning that the public will not accept another political shield around the Epstein network. With every delay, the same question keeps getting louder: Who are they protecting? Watch the full report: 👇

NEW: Speaker Johnson slams Democrats for suddenly seizing on the Epstein files after not saying "one word" for years, vowing full transparency. SPEAKER JOHNSON: "They see a shiny object and they latch on to it. Democrats did not say one word about the Epstein files for the entire Biden presidency. They had all the files in the Biden DOJ." "And suddenly, now they somehow convince themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined. And so they feign outrage."

“When Speaker [Mike] Johnson referred to there being national security reasons for not disclosing various Epstein files, could that relate to 9/11? I think that's one of these details that has troubled me very deeply given the Middle East politics that were involved in U.S. foreign policy post 9/11.” Foundation for Freedom Online Executive Director Mike Benz speculates on whether national security claims around the Epstein files could tie back to 9/11.

Speaker Mike Johnson kept the House on vacation for WEEKS to avoid swearing in Congresswoman Grijalva, all because her signature would have forced a vote to release the Epstein files. Today she was finally sworn in. Speaker Johnson must now bring the Epstein files up for a vote. The American people deserve a government they can trust.

The DOJ released audio from its own Epstein evidence files showing someone scheduling girls for Jeffrey Epstein. They released this. They are still sealing 3 million other documents. If they released the audio that shows scheduling — what is in the documents they won’t release? Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women on the younger side.” He is now sealing the files. He started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop.

Why would the DOJ even attempt to delete documents from the Epstein files after they published them online. The DOJ knew this would instantly make the deleted files go viral. That means it was done intentionally but what I can’t figure out is why?
