The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

James sued Trump, members of his family and the Trump Organization in a civil fraud case in 2022. Two years later, a judge found Trump liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordered him to pay $355 million, plus interest, in penalties.
