Congressional Republicans on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a bill to release all of the files related to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a bill that President Trump spent months trying to kill. The Times correspondents Anni Karni and Carl Hulse explain how a rebellion started by a handful of Republican lawmakers became a partywide mutiny, and Representative Thomas Massie talks about his role in bringing about the vote. Guest: Annie Karni, a congressional correspondent at The New York Times. Carl Hulse, the chief Washington correspondent for The Times. Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky. Background reading:  The vote to approve was a stunning turn for an effort that Republican leaders had worked for months to block. For Mr. Trump, the Epstein scandal is the story that won’t go away.
