Isn't it interesting that Trump made Republicans stick around DC to give his billionaire friends tax breaks & to cut healthcare and public school funding by July 4, but he won't make them do the same for the Epstein files? Why do you think that may be? 🤔 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
House cancels last day of votes before summer break as Epstein consumes Capitol Hill
