Top House Democrats are slamming their GOP colleagues in response to House Speaker Mike Johnson sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington.
00:00Donald Trump promised that he was going to lower inflation on day one.
00:04He lied.
00:05Inflation has continuously increased.
00:07The most recent report has inflation increasing above expectations to 2.7%.
00:13Core CPI increased even more to 2.9%.
00:16And what are congressional Republicans doing?
00:19Nothing.
00:21In fact, it's even worse than that.
00:22They were actually ending this week early because they're afraid to cast votes on the Jeffrey Epstein issue.
00:31The Rules Committee is not meeting because they're afraid to cast votes to release the Epstein files.
00:38So you've got this Epstein issue affecting congressional operations and making sure that the congressional Republicans don't work on trying to lower costs.
00:49So this is an epic cover-up, right?
00:52This is a cover-up of accurate proportions where you've got the majority party literally having us leave Congress early and not having the Rules Committee meet because they don't want to deal with releasing the Epstein files.
01:06This is an issue about underage women who are sexually abused and assaulted.
01:11Attorney General Pam Bondi should not be protecting Jeffrey Epstein's legacy, nor his clients, nor should congressional Republicans be doing the same.
01:20Donald Trump and his son and his closest friends spent years fanning the flame of this theory, and now we're holding them accountable.
01:30Do they want to protect the rich and the powerful, or do they want the truth?
01:35Those are the questions that the Oversight Committee hopefully will get to the bottom of.
01:38Jeffrey Epstein was prosecuted under the Department of Justice under Donald Trump.
01:43Then he leaves the White House, and his closest friends spend four years amplifying theories about the case.
01:50Put up or shut up.
01:51Follow through or don't follow through.
01:53But the American people want the truth to come out, and Democrats are the ones leading the charge for that.
