The matter made its way into the political discourse as the House Rules Committee considered the issue, after a failed attempt by the Democrats to force a vote in Congress on whether the Epstein files should be made public.

As one of the oldest standing committees in Congress, the group's key role concerns the flow of legislation to the House floor.

Khanna's amendment was in effect a procedural measure that was tacked on to the GENIUS Act, which relates to digital assets such as crypto currency. If the amendment had been passed, it would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish the Epstein documents on a "publicly accessible website."

Not all of them are pedophiles. Some just protect pedophiles and support the pedophile's right to sexually abuse minors.
