The Republican-led Senate narrowly voted Wednesday to defeat an amendment introduced by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to compel the Justice Department to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The vote was 51-49 in favor of tabling the amendment. Two Republicans — Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri — joined all 47 Democrats in voting against tabling the amendment.

"My position has long been I think we ought to release those files and trust the American people," Hawley told reporters, "just like we did with the MLK files and the JFK files.”

In a surprise move earlier Wednesday, Schumer had used a procedural tactic to force a floor vote on the Epstein files.

He pitched an amendment to the sweeping defense policy bill being debated by the Senate. His amendment mirrored the language of bipartisan legislation from Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who have vowed to force a similar vote in the House.

"There has been so much lying, obfuscation, cover-ups, the American people need to see everything that’s in the Epstein file, and my amendment would make that happen,” Schumer told reporters.

"Look, the bottom line is the American people need to see this. Donald Trump has lied about this,” he continued. "There has been so many lies, so much prevarication, so much cover-up. The American people, Democrats, independents, Republicans are demanding it be made public, and it should be. We hope Republicans will vote for it. They should.”

Wednesday evening's vote was significant because Senate Republicans have largely avoided discussing or voting on the issue of the Epstein files. Now, all senators have been put on record on the matter.

Both Hawley and Paul have been thorns in the White House’s side at different points this year. Hawley this summer triggered an uproar among fellow Republicans and from Trump himself when he voted with Democrats to advance a bill to ban members of Congress, the president and the vice president from trading stocks. He also was sharply critical of the Medicaid cuts in Trump’s signature legislation, the "One Big Beautiful Bill,” and proposed legislation to reverse the cuts after he voted to pass the bill.

Five people familiar with the discussions told NBC News last month that in both Congress and the White House, Hawley is thought of as readying himself for a 2028 presidential bid.

Paul, meanwhile, has argued against Trump’s wide-ranging tariff agenda and publicly taken issue with other administration moves. On Saturday, he lambasted Vice President JD Vance for saying that striking a boat of alleged drug traffickers "is the highest and best use of our military.”

"JD ‘I don’t give a s---’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military,’” Paul wrote, adding, "What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.”

Is this a partial quote too... "If she weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

Or how about

"So Donald, what's the one thing you have in common with your daughter?"

"Sex."

Or

"May every day be another wonderful secret!"

Let me know the full context of these quotes, if so.

Or at least say someone obvious like Prince Andrew instead of insulting everyone's intelligence like this. They're so bad at lying it's actually hilarious.
