Mike Johnson reveals how he'll vote on Epstein files bill led by Trump critic Thomas Massie

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday revealed his decision on the House's forthcoming vote on forcing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein.

Johnson told reporters at his weekly press conference that he would vote in favor of the bill, despite concerns about what he saw as lackluster protections for victims and other innocent people whose names may be released against their own wishes.

The vote is expected on Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m.

The legislation is a bipartisan product by Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky. Massie has been known to be a frequent critic of both Johnson and President Donald Trump.

Despite that, however, Trump gave House Republicans his blessing to vote for the bill on Sunday night.
