House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourns session amid Republican conflict over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned the legislative session early for a month-long break amid Republican conflicts over voting on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Despite bipartisan pressure for more documents to be released, Johnson wants to give the White House space to handle the information independently. The House Committee on Oversight plans to subpoena Epstein's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, for a deposition. This decision has heightened intra-party tensions as Trump supporters demand a full public accounting of the Epstein investigation.
