A new bombshell report revealing new details about Jeffrey Epstein and his international influence has led one MAGA lawmaker to suggest the House may remain in recess through 2026 to avoid drawing more attention to the revelations.According to a report Friday from Drop Site News, Epstein had helped ...

According to a report Friday from Drop Site News, Epstein had helped broker a defense agreement between the West African nation Côte d’Ivoire and Israel, a revelation uncovered from recently leaked emails of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

“This might keep the House out of session throughout next year,” wrote Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in a social media post on X Saturday, referencing Drop Site News’ reporting.

The House has been in recess since September 19after members passed a funding bill that the Senate has failed to pass, largely due to disagreements on health care policy.

While House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has the ability to reconvene the House at any moment – even amid the ongoing government shutdown – he has refused to, with some critics arguing his hesitancy stems from wanting to avoid a vote on an Epstein-related piece of legislation.

    …I mean, it’s all of the above, I guess?

    ‘Epstein association with Israel’ is a lit match both for, say, Palestinians who feel strongly about Israel’s atrocities, and the opposite classically antisemitic “Jews run the world” kind of folks.

    It’s, indeed, horrible for Trump. It’s the exact kind of Epstein attention he doesn’t want. He has to be careful, as it’s involved with MAGA red meat and a ‘leftist’ issue he likes to rail about.
