House republicans that voted for releasing the Epstein files

The claim implies that multiple House Republicans voted for releasing the Epstein files. However, evidence from multiple credible news sources shows that the effort to force a vote on releasing the files was largely blocked by House Republicans. The amendment to require the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related records was tabled by Democrat Rep.

Ro Khanna and was defeated by a vote of 5 to 7. Among those voting yes were four Democrats and only one Republican, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, who crossed party lines to support the release. The rest of the Republican members voted against the motion, effectively blocking the release of the files.

This indicates that while there was at least one Republican who supported releasing the files, it was not a broader Republican position or majority. The context also shows that this vote was part of a Democratic effort to compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to make Epstein investigation records publicly accessible, which Republicans opposed.

Therefore, stating simply 'House Republicans that voted for releasing the Epstein files' without clarifying it was only one member is misleading and overstates Republican support for the release.
