Goose: Dripfield @ The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Republicans have killed a House effort to approve subpoenas for the CEOs of four major banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon — to obtain documents related to "suspicious" financial transactions flagged as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) motioned the House Judiciary Committee to subpoena the banks for the documents after a hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel. Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) asked for a vote to "table" the motion, meaning they wouldn't even debate it before a vote. While Democrats were winning the vote with the support of Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY), the committee chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) held open the vote until every Republican could rush back to vote in support of tabling the motion.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) then requested that documents be subpoenaed from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent around "suspicious" transactions of Epstein and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Republicans voted to table that motion.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) requested to subpoena the Bureau of Prisons to turn over documents related to the transfer of Maxwell from the Florida minimum security prison to the prison camp in Texas that offers fewer restrictions.

Republicans killed that motion as well.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) then motioned that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino be subpoenaed to produce the files related to Epstein, including all of the witness interviews and search warrant materials.

Republicans tabled the motion.
