Several House Republicans have reportedly heard from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein documents are especially compromising for President Donald Trump.

That's according to reporting from former MSNBC, CNN and Fox News reporter David Shuster, who posted to his X account on Wednesday that there is "speculation/rumors sweeping through [the] GOP caucus" about the details of the Epstein files.

"A few GOP house members say they’ve heard from FBI/DOJ contacts that the Epstein files (with copies in different agencies) are worse than Michael Wolff’s description of Epstein photos showing Trump with half naked teenage girls," Shuster wrote.

According to Shuster, Republicans' anxiety about the contents of the Epstein files is compounded by "more than 100+ Republicans" who are reportedly planning to vote for the bipartisan discharge petition by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), which only needs one more signature in order to force a floor vote. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz), who won a late September special election to fill the seat vacated by her late father, promised to be the 218th and final signature on the discharge petition, though she has yet to be sworn in.

A reporter that people trust.

To be fair, Twitter is a HORRIBLE place to post that. There's zero indication of who he is or his reputability.

Inhales for rant. Reporters posting stuff like 'the country is burning down' or 'social media is destroying America' on Twitter is so irritating.
