Last night, every House Republican on the Rules Committee voted against an amendment to release the Epstein files. This is now the fourth time that Republicans have blocked the files from being released.

The claim consists of two main components: first, that every House Republican on the Rules Committee voted against an amendment to release the Epstein files last night; second, that this marks the fourth time Republicans have blocked the release of these files. Multiple credible news sources confirm that House Republicans on the Rules Committee did block a Democratic effort to force the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.

However, one source notes that one Republican member crossed over to vote with Democrats, indicating that not literally every Republican voted against the amendment.axios.comaxios.comHouse Republicans block Democratic maneuver to force release of Epstein files Regarding the number of times Republicans have blocked such releases, several reports describe repeated Republican opposition to efforts to release these files, supporting the claim that this is at least the fourth such instance.newsweek.comnewsweek.comRepublicans Block Vote to Release Epstein Filestheguardian.comtheguardian.comRepublicans move to block Democratic effort to force release of Epstein files

The context is a politically charged environment with ongoing attempts by Democrats to compel transparency on Epstein-related investigations. The slight inaccuracy about unanimity among Republicans leads to a verdict of Mostly True rather than True. The claim accurately reflects the general pattern and recent vote outcome but slightly overstates unanimity.
