WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 17: U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) says, "And in the context of this Jeffrey Epstein scandal and their refusal to share information to the American people, despite promising to do so, one must ponder the question what are they hiding from the American people?" during a press conference in the U.S. Capitol on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. The Democratic leadership criticized Speaker Johnson’s decision to adjourn early for the August recess to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. (Footage by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)
