Trump tried to get Rep. Lauren Boebert to withdraw her support for the Epstein discharge petition.

Trump administration officials met with Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., at the White House on Wednesday, attempting to convince her to remove her name from the Jeffrey Epstein discharge petition before it couldn’t be changed, according to a White House official and a source close to Boebert.

Boebert is just one of four House Republicans who signed the Epstein discharge petition -- a procedural maneuver allowing legislation to reach the House floor without the blessing of its leadership. On Wednesday afternoon, the petition reached 218 signatures after the swearing-in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., the bar for triggering House action.

Now, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will be forced to hold a floor vote on an issue that has roiled the Republican base and would, if successful, order the government to release more of its files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Under House rules, no more names can be added or removed from the petition since it hit 218 signatures.

Trump administration officials and President Donald Trump — who on Wednesday was fending off new allegations about his connection to Epstein — had sought to stop the House from acting in what would be a decisive rebuke of the president, who has argued that the Epstein controversy is a sideshow he thinks the GOP should ignore. House Democrats released new emails Wednesday from Epstein suggesting that Trump "knew about the girls," which Trump has repeatedly denied.

1. That tells you all you need to know. He's hiding something . Release the files!

[Iwasthere]

2. What he is hiding is far more heinous than most of us imagine

Mark my words. One day it will be known, and it will be beyond vomit inducing. That Fuc$er has done some crazy sexual shit (secrets).

[Irish_Dem]

4. It must be bad. The public doesn't care if he is a rapist or traitor.

What is worse than raping children?

[markie]

9. Maybe, but

I’m convinced that most of it has been scrubbed… my thought is that the moneyed/powerful people will/have done ANYTHING to hide the truth

3. Which happened first? The meeting or Grijalva being sworn and signing?

I read that once the 218 signatures are on the petition it’s done. Boebert and Mace could have taken theirs off it UNTIL Grijalva signed.

We heard about the meeting this morning. Didn’t they have it scheduled early enough or have Moses Mike stall?

Either way it seems that Boebert and Mace said no.

6. Yes. Vote next week. More vigorous arm twisting ahead.

10. I guess the bottom line is that neither removed their name

Trump called Mace early Wednesday, but the two had not connected as of early afternoon, a source told The Hill.
Both representatives kept their names on the petition.

5. Why would an innocent man care if they were released?

[pat_k]

8. Whether protecting himself, or billionaire puppet masters, or both, he is clearly desperate (nt)

[IcyPeas]

7. Remember the days when we all thought there was a pee video...

Seems quaint now.

Whatever this is is MUCH worse.

11. That's what I've been saying

It's far worse than a pee pee tape. Read the court transcripts of Jane Does testimony. He's a twisted sexual deviant, no doubt.
