The turmoil in Congress over the Jeffrey Epstein probe isn't going away anytime soon after the House Speaker ended the legislative session early before the August break.

Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, said Tuesday morning that he wants to give the White House “space” to release the Epstein information on its own, despite the bipartisan push for legislation that aims to force the release of more documents.

Donald Trump gave a startlingly low number when asked if he had a sexual "age limit" during a now-resurfaced interview with Howard Stern. Trump alleged that Carlson phoned him to say sorry after they had a public falling out on a key issue. A Texan father who moved his family to Russia to escape “woke” America has been sent to the front line.

The Trump administration faces criticism for withholding investigative files about serial sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Department of Justice has contacted Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted associate to Jeffrey Epstein. Also, the House GOP is seemingly split over how to handle the controversy over the Epstein files. NBC News Correspondents Monica Alba and Sahil Kapur and MSNBC Legal Correspondent Lisa Rubin report the latest.

Epstein died of an apparent suicide in his jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019. His alleged accomplice and sometimes girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite, was later charged and convicted of sex trafficking in 2020. Bondi has said her office will meet with Maxwell to get to the bottom of the alleged scheme between Epstein and her.
