Speaker Mike Johnson is calling for the Department of Justice to release all of its information on Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in jail after being charged with sex trafficking, and wants Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain previous statements on the matter.
The Trump administration this month declined to release additional information regarding Epstein’s death, with the Justice Department and FBI concluding there’s no evidence that Epstein had a list of clients or was murdered in his jail cell. Republicans blocked a House vote on Tuesday afternoon that Democrats tried to cast as a referendum to force the White House to release the files.

In an interview published shortly after the vote, Johnson told conservative commentator Benny Johnson that he is “for transparency.”
“It’s a very delicate subject, but you should put everything out there, let the people decide it,” the Louisiana Republican said.
He added that Bondi needs to clarify previous remarks she made about having some sort of “client list” of Epstein’s — pivoting from Monday when he threw his support behind the attorney general.
“I think she was talking about documents, as I understood that were on her desk. I don’t know that she was specific about a list or whatever, but she needs to come forward and explain that to everybody,” Johnson said.
