00:00Trump faces renewed scrutiny in battle to release Epstein files.
00:05The government shutdown ending could help the House Oversight Committee secure more
00:08Jeffrey Epstein documents despite efforts to block public release.
00:12President Donald Trump, the FBI, and the Justice Department face renewed pressure to release
00:17the long-suppressed files as the House nears forcing publication.
00:22Democrats are one signature short of the 218 needed to compel a vote.
00:26Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed swearing in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva,
00:32expected to be the 218th signature on a discharge petition.
00:36Once a transparency advocate, he is accused of stalling to shield the president after
00:40the Wall Street Journal reported Trump's name appeared in FBI files multiple times.
00:45He later dismissed the push as a Democrat hoax, irrelevant and boring.
00:50The House Oversight Committee has released more than 33,000 pages of Epstein-related records.
00:55Many already public or heavily redacted.
00:58Democrats accuse Johnson of blocking Grijalva's swearing in to stop the deciding vote.
01:02He cites procedure.
01:04He told MSNBC there was an exception for the Floridians, being sworn in.
01:09Meanwhile, Democrats issued subpoenas to Epstein's estate and the DOJ.
01:14Epstein's 50th birthday book includes a drawing and text as a conversation between Donald and Jeffrey,
01:19and shows Trump's signature, which he denies.
01:22Flight logs show an Andrew taking multiple trips on Epstein's plane, including flights with Ghislaine Maxwell.
01:28A redacted 2000 ledger lists an Andrew receiving massage, exercise and yoga for $200.
01:35Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has denied wrongdoing or abusing Virginia Giuffre.
01:39A Justice Department index lists five massage tables, maps of his island, an Austrian passport with his photograph,
01:47more than $17,000 in cash, 40 electronic devices, and over 70 CDs and six recorders, totaling 300 gigabytes.
01:56The FBI has not confirmed whether the material references Trump or other high-profile associates,
02:01but Democrats insist the files must see the light of day.
