"You will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don’t vote to release these files, and the president can’t protect you then," Rep. Thomas Massie told ABC.

Donald Trump's political dominance is showing cracks as he faces challenges on affordability and the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"You will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don’t vote to release these files, and the president can’t protect you then," Rep. Thomas Massie told ABC.

His stunning about-face on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein came only after it became clear he was facing a jailbreak in the GOP-controlled House.

A rare GOP defiance prompted Trump to change his position on the Epstein files. Anxieties about rising prices also led him to roll back some tariffs.
