Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson responded on Thursday amid reported blowback from members of his party over criticism they've faced for voting down a Democratic-led effort to force the release of documents related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Plus, Adelita Grijalva wins the Democratic primary in the race for a House seat in Arizona. The seat was left vacant by her father, Raúl Grijalva, who died in March.

Johnson’s biggest challenge in passing the "recission" bill was a Republican fight over what information the Trump administration should release about Epstein.

The Justice Department's alleged lack of transparency in its Epstein memo has sparked frustration among many Trump supporters.

Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now says it will push a court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case

Congress had until the end of day on Friday to pass the rescissions request, or the funding would have had to be spent as originally intended.
