A rescission package that would codify roughly $9 billion in Department of Government Efficiency cuts is in limbo over a completely unrelated issue: Jeffrey Epstein.
House Republican leaders are not putting the legislation to a vote yet over concerns that lawmakers may advance amendments to the bill that would involve releasing documents related to the Epstein case.
Republican members of the Rules Committee have expressed discomfort with rejecting certain amendments to compel the release of Epstein investigation documents, and the House is currently in a holding pattern over the bill. Of course, Republicans have to figure out the situation quick.
