Senate Blocks Epstein File Release in 51-49 Vote, Sparking Bipartisan Outrage Over ‘Hidden Records’
Supporters argue that withholding Epstein files could shield influential people from scrutiny. They say transparency is necessary to maintain public confidence in investigations and prevent corruption or abuse of power.
Republican leaders disagreed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota called the amendment “a stunt.” He suggested Schumer’s proposal was timed more for attention than meaningful legislative progress.
Well, that was quick. Can't have the pedophiles be exposed, not on the watch of the Guardians of Pedophiles!
51 people voted to defend children being raped, so sad.
