What Happened
Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.
The decision to cancel all floor votes on the calendar and order House Republicans to leave Washington came only hours after the US House Oversight Committee announced it had received a first batch of documents from the US Treasury. The tranche included details regarding suspicious activity from Epstein’s bank accounts and a ledger detailing transactions between him and potential co-conspirators. Closing the House — and, by extension, shutting down the federal government — has ground the investigation to halt, and prevents the Treasury from delivering any more financial records
