The Trump administration has moved to release more information about notorious sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The House of Representatives will begin its August recess early to avoid Republicans being forced to vote on Democratic-backed motions related to the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Trump administration, facing a strong backlash over the Department of Justice’s decision to renege on a promise to release the Epstein and Maxwell case files, has taken several steps to mitigate that criticism in recent days.

    Need more time to make shit up so they can release the ones they want to instead of the actual files.

      They know that Trump is going to do 25 different outrageous things before they get back and they’re counting on that, media fatigue and their social media bots to move people’s attention elsewhere.

    This kind of shit should be hella illegal. These assholes have an entire country to help run, they take recess early? Meanwhile, average workers get harassed for going to the doctor or whatever.

    So, can I start August early and just stop working between now and then without losing my paycheck? Cause I’d hate to think this was a double-standard.
