Rep. Ro Khanna Says Mike Johnson's Decision To Shut Down The House Early Speaks Volumes
HuffPost
The California Democrat said the House speaker likely acted at the direction of President Donald Trump.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Tuesday said House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) call to abruptly shut down the lower chamber ahead of schedule was a calculated decision to block a vote on the release of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and was likely made at the direction of President Donald Trump.
Johnson on Tuesday canceled upcoming votes, announcing he would send lawmakers home for a five-week recess on Wednesday evening, while calling the controversy around the Epstein files a “Democrat sideshow.”
In an interview with CNN’s “AC360,” Khanna, one of the Democrats leading the bipartisan effort to release the documents, said Johnson took action because he knew their resolution had the votes to pass and he didn’t “want to embarrass the members of his own caucus.”
Khanna added that their resolution has secured the approval of several GOP members, including Thomas Massie (Ky.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Nancy Mace (S.C.) and Tim Burchett (Tenn.).
“I don’t think they’ve ever in my entire nine years in Congress, sponsored any legislation that I’ve introduced,” Khanna said.
