Rep. Tim Burchett told Newsmax on Wednesday that House Democrats deliberately blocked his attempt to fast-track the release of all remaining Jeffrey Epstein files.
He accused them of playing politics and dragging out a process he said should be transparent and immediate.
Speaking on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Burchett explained that he went to the House floor earlier in the day to request unanimous consent — a procedural move that would have allowed the files to be released without objection.
But he said Democrats had already informed the parliamentarian they would not agree, effectively stopping the effort before it began.

Democrats, he said, insist on “getting it all out” but then object when Republicans attempt to do so.
