Lawmakers: Epstein Case Eroding Public Trust, Harming GOP
Some lawmakers are worried that people don't trust the government because of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Two politicians want all the secret files about it made public.
The politicians are pushing to get it released when they return in September.
But some Republicans in charge don't want to fully release all the information.
They are looking at making a different version that will better protect victims.

Republicans Massie and Khanna want full release of Epstein files.
House Speaker Johnson favors a resolution for releasing "credible" evidence.
Trump is reportedly frustrated by questions about the Epstein case.
