Leader Jeffries We saw Trump's 'extraordinary meltdown in real time' over Epstein files bill
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that the public witnessed Donald Trump's "extraordinary meltdown in real time" over the congressional bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Jeffries' comments came after the House and Senate both passed the legislation, essentially forcing the President's hand to sign the bill, which he did on November 20, 2025. Jeffries characterized the passage of the bill as an "unconditional surrender" by Trump and House Republicans, who he accused of having run a "pedophile protection program" for months by trying to block or delay the bill.
