... Officials met in the Situation Room with Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, one of the Republicans who has signed on to an effort to force a vote on releasing all of the Epstein files. That effort is moving forward after a newly elected Democrat was seated in the House of Representatives and also signed on to the effort, providing the final signature needed, according to CNN.

The White House has been pressuring lawmakers against further Epstein disclosures over concerns the files could prove problematic for President Donald Trump. ...

Soooo... if the Epstein Files are, as Pres Trump has been characterizing them, a Democratic hoax, then why go to such an extreme attempt (e.g., inviting a lawmaker into the Situation Room) to prevent their release?

What is the Trump admin trying to cover-up?

Lauren Boebert is a "key lawmaker?" K.

@#3 ... Lauren Boebert is a "key lawmaker?" K. ...

You noticed that also? :)

I suspect they may mean "key" in that she is MAGA and a Rep that might be persuaded to change a vote on the Epstein files.

Not "key" in the overall House type of thing, just key in the 218 Epstein File votes.

Exactly. They might even make up a new Cabinet position for her.

They already voted, she didn't change her vote.
