Epstein files live updates: Trump’s message to Republicans could trigger ‘unanimous’ vote to release all documents

The Rome Police Department is “in receipt of (2) email assassination threats toward MTG and her family,” a spokesperson for the agency told the outlet. The report comes after President Donald Trump said Sunday night he does not believe Greene’s life is in danger.

Greene is locked in a growing feud with Trump, which has been fueled in part by their split over the Epstein files.

On Saturday, Greene said that private security firms had contacted her with warnings over her safety. The next day, she wrote on X that an office building housing one of her construction companies received a pipe bomb threat.

Greene claimed that Trump’s “unwarranted and vicious attacks” could lead to “serious attacks” against her and her family.

Some lawmakers are expecting a rare unanimous vote on a bill that would compel the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to The New York Times.

While House Democrats have said they would vote to release the files, Republicans initially appeared divided on the issue. But that division could end after President Donald Trump called on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files last night.

The vote is expected as soon as Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is still considering whether to schedule a vote on a bill demanding the release of the Epstein files, a GOP leadership aide source told CNN.

Two months ago, Thune said he’s encouraging the Justice Department to be as transparent as possible on the Epstein files.

Last night, President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the Justice Department files on Sunday night.

The Kremlin said it’s hopeful for another meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine, according to Reuters.

“We can hardly predict now when these conditions will arise. Although, of course, we are all interested in these conditions occurring sooner rather than later,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

“Therefore, as soon as this preparation is completed and the conditions for holding the summit are in place, we hope it will take place,” he added.

Last month, Trump announced plans to meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, but the talks were canceled soon afterward. Trump and Putin previously met in August during a summit in Alaska.

President Donald Trump’s State Department intends to designate the Cartel de los Soles as a “foreign terrorist organization,” according to a Sunday press release.

The agency alleges the cartel is led by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other government officials. This designation will take effect on November 24, the State Department said.

Trump said Sunday that administration officials “may be having some discussions with Maduro.”

The Federal Aviation Administration has ended its flight reduction emergency order, which addressed staffing issues amid the government shutdown.

The order was lifted at 6 a.m. on Monday morning. The shutdown, which was the longest in U.S. history, ended last week.

A new analysis of consumer data reveals a concerning trend in the United States, with a growing number of households struggling to pay their utility bills, signalling a potential warning for the nation’s economy.

According to The Century Foundation, a liberal think-tank, past due balances owed to utility companies surged by 9.7 percent annually, reaching an average of $789 between April-June periods of 2024 and 2025. This increase coincides with a 12 per cent jump in monthly energy bills over the same timeframe.

Julie Margetta Morgan, the foundation’s president, highlighted the significance of these figures. “Consumers usually prioritise their utility bills along with their mortgages and auto debt,” she stated. “The increase in both energy costs and delinquencies may suggest that consumers are falling behind on other bills, too.”
