Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal 'truth' of the pedophile client list, say insiders.
In the dead of night, Republicans almost unanimously blocked efforts to allow Congress to vote on whether the Epstein Files should be made public or not.
All but one of the GOP members of the House Rules Committee voted against a Democrat amendment that would have allowed Congress to vote on whether the files should be made public or not.
The amendment, which was first put forward by Californian Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, was voted down 5 to 7 on Monday evening.
Maxwell, 63, is the only person behind bars - serving 20 years on child sex trafficking charges - despite the fact that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls, The Daily Mail noted.
Despite the Republicans objections, 25 percent of the gambling public believe she will testify before Congress by year's end. That number had dropped to 20 percent by Tuesday morning.
US President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi after the FBI issued a two-page statement saying that they had concluded that Epstein did not possess a “client list".
When a reporter attempted to ask Bondi about Epstein at a White House Cabinet meeting last week, Trump headed off the questions and scolded the journalist: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years.”
“I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas — it just seems like a desecration,” he added.
Trump doubled down over the weekend with a Truth Social post.
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’” Trump wrote. “They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.”
But as CNN's Donie O'Sullivan noted on Monday, the negative comments in response to Trump's weekend post far outweighed anything positive, a rarity on Trump's own Truth Social platform.
By late Monday, a number of right-wing influencers, including Charlie Kirk and Laura Ingraham, had begun to turn the page.
Kirk said he was “done talking about Epstein” for the time being.
Whether MAGA loyalists back off remains to be seen.
Dan Borgino, deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was coming in with a 41 percent chance of leaving his position after reports he was dissatisfied with the FBI's findings. Bongino did not come to work Friday following an apparent clash with Bondi, leading some insiders to believe he had quit.
Bondi's odds of leaving the Trump administration still hovered around the 20 percent mark Tuesday morning.
Republican lawmakers, meanwhile, have expressed little desire to entertain the Epstein matter even with Maxwell's apparent willingness to reveal what she knows.
“I’ll leave that up to DOJ and to the FBI. I think that’s in their purview. I think the president’s expressed his views on it and so I’ll just leave it at that,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters Monday.
BetOnline continues to offer a wealth of betting odds related to the Trump Administration.
