Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) definitively answered on Monday that the House will not hold a vote on the release of the Epstein files before lawmakers leave for summer recess by the end of the week.

“My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing. If further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we’ll look at that,” Johnson told reporters. “But I don’t think we’re at that point right now because we agree with the president.”
