House Speaker Johnson Seeks Full Epstein Document Release, Maxwell Testimony

House Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly called for full transparency regarding the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, urging the Department of Justice to release all remaining files related to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Johnson supports having Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell testify before Congress and is open to congressional subpoenas to compel the DOJ and FBI to disclose any undisclosed documents. While the Trump administration and DOJ maintain there is no evidence of a client list or foul play in Epstein's death, Johnson has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to clarify her previous statements about possessing Epstein-related documents. Despite Republicans blocking Democratic efforts to force the release of these files in the House, Johnson emphasized the importance of transparency and trusting the American people to decide once all information is publicly available. His stance reflects internal GOP tensions between loyalty to President Trump and responding to public demands for disclosure on this sensitive issue.
