    Kilichobadilika

    • 218 signatures—a House majority—have opened a route around Republican leaders for legislation that would let Epstein survivors, state prosecutors and lawmakers take the U.S. attorney general to court over blocked records. That is a consequential shift in control of the House agenda. It is not yet a victory for access to the files.
