>> #Trump Ramps Up Pressure on #GOP to Thwart #Epstein Vote

>> #LaurenBoebert, one Republican pressing for more Epstein disclosures, was summoned for a meeting in the #WhiteHouse #SituationRoom.

More importantly, if #Boebert is successfully intimidated, then #Grijalva's vote will NO LONGER BE THE 218th VOTE needed to release all the #EpsteinFiles.

This is another way #Biden fucked us up by protecting Trump. #MerrickGarland could have easily and legally released but didn't

#Trump *connected with* #LaurenBoebert by phone Tues morning, acc/to 2 people familiar with the call, a day before Speaker #MikeJohnson was set to finally swear in a #Democrat, Rep #AdelitaGrijalva of AZ, who was expected to provide the 218th signature needed to force the #Epstein vote. [Also before today’s release of emails]

Trump has also been reaching out by phone to #NancyMace (R-SC), another of the #Republicans who have signed the petition…. The two have not yet connected.

#LaurenBoebert is one of 3 #Republican #women in the #House who have signed on to a petition aimed at forcing a vote on a bill demanding that the #DOJ release all of its investigative files on #Epstein.

If they refuse to remove their names, the petition is set later Wednesday to reach the 218 signatures needed to compel action within weeks.

Top ofcls met in the White House #SituationRoom on Wednesday with Rep #LaurenBoebert (R-CO) who is backing an effort to force a House vote on whether to demand the release of the files.

She was *summoned* to sit down with top #DOJ & #FBI ofcls, acc/to 2 people familiar with the matter. One of the people said the session included AG #PamBondi & FBI Dir #KashPatel.

More on the #LaurenBoebert #SituationRoom meeting. Shocker, it wasn’t about the #Trump admin being transparent, but pressuring her to back down from voting to release all the #EpsteinFiles.

Trump & his admin on Wednesday ramped up a pressure campaign on congressional #Republicans who are pushing for a full release of the #DOJ’s files about the convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein, rushing to head off a #House vote on the matter.

In tales from the surreal:

Just now White House press sec Karoline Leavitt appeared to confirm to reporters that Rep #LaurenBoebert met Wednesday in the #SituationRoom to discuss the #Epstein case & demands for the public release of the investigative case file.

“Doesn’t that show the level of transparency, when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress & address their concerns?” Leavitt said
