Here’s what’s really happening in Washington, and why impeachment talk is suddenly very real.
Congress passed the so-called Epstein Files Transparency Act by overwhelming margins. Trump signed it, which legally required the Justice Department to release Epstein-related records within 30 days. But lawmakers now claim the DOJ missed deadlines, released only a small fraction of documents, and heavily redacted key information. That’s triggered bipartisan anger, with senators like Chuck Schumer accusing the administration of breaking the law.
At the same time, an impeachment resolution is already sitting in the House. Representative Shri Thanadar filed seven articles of impeachment months ago, and under House rules, he can make it “privileged.” That means any single member can force an impeachment vote within 72 hours, bypassing committees entirely. This isn’t theoretical—Representative Al Green already proved the mechanism works.
Republicans may still table it, but every vote puts them on record defending Trump while questions about hidden Epstein files grow louder. The tools exist. The resolutions exist. The outrage is real. All that’s missing is one spark—and that could happen at any moment.
