Scott MacFarlane's daily editorial note reports that four departing House Republicans joined 214 Democrats to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files, millions of pages of which remain withheld, and flags a brewing clash as Team Trump appears poised to defy incoming Democrats' subpoenas, hearings, and depositions.
