After getting grudging permission from Donald Trump, Congressman Cline joined every member of Congress but one in voting for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
After months of delay, a petition that Cline and almost all other House Republicans refused to sign got enough signatures to force a vote to direct the Justice Department to release all files on its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Cline insisted he backed a House committee’s investigation into Epstein’s crimes. But the investigation produced very little new information.
Would Cline have been brave enough to defy Trump if the president had urged Republicans to vote NO? Not based on his continued cringing support for the man.
And of course Trump could order the DoJ to release the files any time he wants. Will Cline urge him to do so? What do you think?
UPDATE: Cline is actually proud of his vote.
