Trump faces GOP revolt as House readies vote to release full Epstein files amid new emails linking him to case. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

Thomas Massie urged Trump and Johnson to “be on the right side” by supporting the vote to release the Epstein files.

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is officially rescinding his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and attacked her in personal terms, while the congresswoman countered that Trump was trying to make an example of her to prevent the release of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Across the nation, more voters are straying away from political parties. According to Gallup polls, a record 43% of people across the nation self-identified as independent in both 2023 and 2024. Since 2000, the number of self-identifying independents has only reached 43% one other time — in 2014.

Former Republican Rep. Charlie Dent discusses what's next for Republicans and Democrats now that the shutdown is over and the fight over rising health care costs continues. Then, the House Oversight Committee released a trove of documents on Wednesday from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In the latest sign of resistance to President Donald Trump’s push to redraw congressional lines, the Republican leader of Indiana’s state Senate on Friday said his chamber won’t meet for a special session to create additional GOP seats.

None of the men he mentioned in demanding the probe have been accused of sexual misconduct by any of Epstein’s victims.

Trump himself is mentioned throughout the thousands of pages of Epstein emails, but his call for investigations — which AG Pam Bondi quickly answered — named only Democrats.
