When the government shutdown ends and Congress is finally back in session, Republicans in the House and Senate are likely to have one hell of an obstacle to their plans of gutting the federal government and taking benefits away from tens of millions of Americans.
That’s according to former MSNBC and CNN reporter David Schuster, who shared his latest reporting via social media.
“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. Speculation/rumors sweeping through GOP caucus.”
He added: “This is apparently adding to the expectation that once Rep. Grijalva is sworn in and signs the Massie discharge petition, triggering a House vote 7 legislative days later, more than 100+ republicans will vote with all dems to release the files to get in front of what’s coming.”
“Several GOP lawmakers were also ‘spooked’ by AG Bondi’s testimony to the Senate a few weeks ago. Asked specifically (by Sen Whitehouse) if the FBI has the alleged photos described by Wolff or if Bondi has seen them, Bondi refused to say. She didn’t give a denial.”

The reference to Michael Wolff involves allegations he made to the Daily Beast that he had seen “about a dozen Polaroid snapshots” of Trump and Epstein showing Trump with topless underage girls sitting in his lap.
Wolff added that Epstein had shown him the salacious photos, fanning them out “like a deck of cards” to prove that Trump had been a part of his inner circle, which allegedly included sex with numerous girls younger than 18 and the sexual trafficking of children over the years before Epstein was finally arrested.
If there is proof in the DOJ’s files that Trump did indeed engage in illicit sexual activities with children, it could well trigger impeachment proceedings for “high crimes and misdemeanors,” especially if Democrats win control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.
Once removed from office, Trump could also be criminally charged and sent to prison for decades.
Sounds like Donnie and his GOP allies are in for an absolute shitshow in the months ahead.
