Senate Republicans defeat Chuck Schumer push to force release of Epstein files

[Dulcinea]

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — The Republican-led Senate narrowly voted Wednesday to defeat an amendment introduced by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to compel the Justice Department to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The vote was 51-49 in favor of tabling the amendment. Two Republicans — Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri — joined all 47 Democrats in voting against tabling the amendment.

“My position has long been I think we ought to release those files and trust the American people," Hawley told reporters, "just like we did with the MLK files and the JFK files.”

Maybe he will do something to actually stop them, rather than depend on voters to care who voted for what. Their voters dont care what they vote for.
