My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Reporter: Why are white house officials then meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the files?
Leavitt: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the trump administration are willing to brief members of congress?

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
