House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will ensure the House holds a vote on releasing the so-called Epstein documents next week, CNN reports.

"We will put it to a vote when we come back next week," Johnson said.

Recently, a new member was sworn into the House of Representatives and signed a motion to vote on a disclosure, which was another step towards releasing the investigation into the convicted sex offender.

US President Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein, who committed suicide while in prison in 2019, has come under scrutiny in recent years. The president has distanced himself from the convicted sex offender, calling him a "disgusting guy."

On Wednesday, Democrats in the US Congress released emails from Jeffrey Epstein that mention Trump. Among other things, Epstein wrote, “of course he knew about the girls,” in a message to author Michael Wolff in 2019.
