Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~What should we ask Congress next? Let us know!In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks:

Are House Republicans going to gavel out to avoid voting on the Jeffrey Epstein records now that allegations are flying that President Donald Trump is named in the files and doesn’t want them public?*

Key LaMalfa:

“What my leadership colleagues are saying is, let a process work through and see what actually is there, because we don’t really have the right to try things in Congress. It’s gonna be up to the executive branch through DOJ and its associates to figure that out,” Rep. Doug LaMalfa exclusively tells Ask a Pol.

“But at some point on the other side of this,, there better be a satisfactory vetting and outcome on this. It may not be today, but, you know, when we get back September,* whatever it is, there better be something real out of this, because it don’t look good.”

*This interview took place Tuesday — the following afternoon Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leaders let the House of Representatives out a few days early for their annual monthslong August recess.
