flag Speaker Mike Johnson faces backlash for delaying FBI Epstein files, accused of shielding Trump amid the government shutdown.

flag House Speaker Mike Johnson is under scrutiny for allegedly using the ongoing government shutdown to block the release of FBI files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, with critics accusing him of shielding former President Donald Trump. flag The delay has stalled efforts to compel disclosure, including a discharge petition led by Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, and comes amid a broader pattern of resistance to accountability for powerful men. flag Democrats and analysts argue the obstruction undermines justice for abuse survivors, citing Trump’s civil liability in the E. Jean Carroll case and suppressed evidence like photos of Trump with young women. flag While Johnson denies wrongdoing, the controversy highlights tensions over transparency, victim advocacy, and political strategy during the 20-day shutdown.
