Next week could be big for survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme because we are forcing a recorded vote in the House on releasing the Epstein files.

When they’re protecting pedophiles, when they are blowing our budget, when they are starting their wars overseas, I’m sorry, I can’t go along with that.

FBI, CIA, and Capitol Hill Police Department are implicated in this story.

It is a very serious thing; there are a thousand victims.

I got to give credit to Lauren Boebert, to walk into the White House, and to sustain that, and to come back out and be solid.

GOP leaders were in 'full panic' over the discharge petition and had 'actually threatened' some of the cosigners — 'politically, not physically.'

I am certain the House vote will succeed with more Republican support than the petition.

I’d be happy if we could just get 4 or 5 more voices in Congress who don’t always just do what their party tells them.

I doubt I’ll run for POTUS, but I appreciate the support @jack.

Trump’s consultants clearly pushed the panic button with their choice of failed candidate and establishment hack Ed Gallrein.

I think it’s meant to instill fear in people.

He should do the right thing

I think (Thune is) going to be under more pressure than he realizes

I think we're going to get a resounding vote on this

So in some sense, I have the Trump antibodies.

I think what’s being run against me is a threat to other Republicans to try to keep them from doing what I’m doing.

There’s been $2.5 million of ads run against me by three billionaires who are mega-donors to the Republican Party.

There’s an immense pressure campaign from the White House on Republican members right now.

Eighty percent of Republicans, it’s not just independents and Democrats who want these files released, 80% of Republicans support releasing these files.

I care most about the policy here, not the politics of it. But politically, it’s really bad for Republicans.

Embarrassment is not a reason to conceal all of this stuff. We’ve got to get it out in the open, regardless of whose friends might be incriminated.

I actually don’t think he’s done anything criminal. I think he may be covering for some rich and powerful people that are friends of his.

I think the best way to clear President Trump’s name is to release all the files.

There are things that the White House doesn’t want out there that my legislation would cause to be released.

I hope my colleagues are watching this press conference.
