Mike Johnson gave in over a 'growing internal rebellion' against Trump: report

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who has been battling with members of his caucus as he pushes through Donald Trump's budget demands, is now having to fend off members who are "furious" about the Jeffrey Epstein firestorm that is engulfing the White House.

Appearing on MSNBC, NBC's Melanie Zanona was asked by host Anna Cabrera, "Beginning with the Epstein news here, House Speaker Mike Johnson having to answer some tough questions about his conference's wide views yesterday. What's the latest there?"

"Yeah, Johnson has been in a really tough spot here because he's caught between President Donald Trump, who just wants to move on from this controversy, and then some of his own base and some of his own members who are just furious over how the administration has handled this Epstein case," Zanona reported.

"So initially, the speaker was going to try to move in the camp of Donald Trump –– was to just to move on, not to have any action here on Capitol Hill, she continued. "But there was a growing internal rebellion that was threatening to hold up other unrelated pieces of legislation. So, ultimately yesterday, what the leadership decided was that they were going to tee up a vote on a separate resolution that would essentially be a non-binding resolution to call on the release of the Epstein files."

"Again, this is non-binding, it has no legal weight," she cautioned. "But it was a way for Johnson to show members that he was willing to do something to address some of their concerns."

Pam Bondi said to be 'aiding and abetting Trump' in new bid to 'dodge' scandal

Donald Trump's plan to publicize court documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case is actually a calculated "strategy" to avoid the scandal, and Pam Bondi is "aiding and abetting" him, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Trump recently announced he would direct his attorney general to release all "pertinent" grand jury files related to Epstein's case, but the problem is that option is not within Trump's power, but with the courts. Bondi immediately said she would ask the court for such a release.
