Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Mike Johnson’s 7 week refusal to seat Adelita Grijalva bigger than just Epstein files (though that’s BFD). He’s also laying groundwork to attempt to prevent winning Dems from taking office if House majority up for grabs in 2026, as I reported for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The White House confirms Trump officials tried to convince Lauren Boebert today to drop her support for the Epstein files discharge petition.
Once Adelita Grijalva is sworn in this afternoon, majority support will be reached on that discharge petition in the House.
