Democrats began bringing up Epstein-related votes in the Rules Committee last week, with Republicans voting down multiple efforts to bring forward measures requiring the release of information related to the convicted sex offender.
Republican leaders eventually had to placate their members on the Rules Committee, who did not want to keep voting down Epstein measures, by bringing forward their own symbolic resolution calling for the release of certain Epstein documents. Johnson has not put that bill on the floor for full House consideration.
Democrats were prepared to repeat their efforts in the Rules Committee this week, but the panel recessed without advancing any legislation in order to avoid more votes on Epstein documents.
Without action by the Rules Committee, which all legislation must pass through before reaching the floor, the House canceled votes Thursday and let members leave town a day early.
