Republican members of the House Rules Committee, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have been engaged in ongoing discussions to address internal frustrations over Democratic amendments related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Democrats on the committee have repeatedly offered Epstein-related amendments, which Republicans plan to vote down. To manage this tension, Johnson and his leadership team proposed a non-binding resolution calling for truth and transparency concerning Epstein-related materials, urging their release to the public and Congress. This resolution, designated as a House Resolution (H.Res.), carries no legal weight but aims to facilitate Republican opposition to the Democratic amendments. Meanwhile, the House Rules Committee also handled a rescissions package, which had been delayed due to GOP dissatisfaction with leadership's handling of the Epstein issue. The committee passed the rule governing the rescissions package, which means the package will be considered passed without a direct vote. Throughout the day, multiple meetings took place among GOP members, including discussions with Representative Fischbach and leadership figures such as Steve Scalise, to quell anger and unify the Republican position on the Epstein-related amendments and the rescissions package.
