House Democratic leaders will give remarks Tuesday morning as controversy around disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s case rankles their GOP counterparts ahead of the August recess.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington after the week's legislative agenda was upended by Republican members who are clamoring for a vote.

La., canceled votes planned for Thursday before Democrats could force another vote on releasing the remaining Epstein files—accusing them of playing “political games”—sending the House into its summer recess early as President Trump faces continued political turmoil over the failure to release information about the notorious financier.
