Top Trump administration officials were planning to meet Wednesday about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting.

One of the sources said the planned meeting would include Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel and Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who has wanted the Justice Department to release their trove of Epstein files and has signed onto the effort in the US House to force the vote compelling their release.

CNN has not yet confirmed if the meeting has taken place. A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment, and the White House did not immediately return a request for comment. CNN has reached out to Boebert’s office.

Still, the intention of a meeting underscores the Trump administration’s concerns around the Epstein saga, which roared back Wednesday morning when the House Oversight Committee released more documents it had obtained from Epstein’s estate.

Trump will give her literally anything. It is not as if she has any scruples.

8. That was the first question that entered into my mind. I would say yes

[vapor2]

2. DOJ will continue to obstruct

but imo they will have their limits. Release today was from the Estate so likely more to come. Repugs likely frantic.........

[FakeNoose]

3. Rep. Boebert of Colorado? When did she join the Chump administration?

Or maybe she's just the afternoon's entertainment?

[underpants]

9. They are going to berate her and she'll take the message back to MTG and Mace

The message will be clear, remove your name or you get primaried at best if not just turning MAGA on you.

[ShazzieB]

17. MTG will just roll her eyes at such a threat.

She's already announced that she's quitting soon.

I don't know about the other 2, but MTG has made it clear that she no longer takes orders from Schlump!

[llmart]

4. Hmmmm.....

methinks someone is a tad worried.

[Marie Marie]

14. Yeah I know - I wonder why?

What could it be - what could it be? Hmmm, well I'm stumped.

6. Payola with stolen SNAP funds?

Boebert is mad that Senators are getting big cash bonuses and she hasn't. Yet.

[Wednesdays]

10. Bobo will be given an offer she can't refuse. nt

[Miguelito Loveless]

13. I am guessing Bondi

will be there to show her all the dirt they have on her from email/phone/text wiretaps.

15. Two tickets to Beetlejuice the musical?

[GusBob]

11. Last week, it was reported the DOJ had warned some GOPers about the files contents

The report was the contents were worse than what Wolff was claiming with some photos

I wonder of Bobo was one of those GOPers?

[republianmushroom]

12. Oh, yes, transparency.
