Three Republicans joined Democrats in an 8-2 vote to approve a motion to issue a subpoena to the Justice Department for the release of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Three Republicans joined Democrats in approving the motion, a rare moment of bipartisan agreement regarding an investigation that has been shrouded in mystery.

A House Oversight subcommittee voted Wednesday to subpoena the Department of Justice to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. The motion passed by a vote of 8-2. Notably, three GOP lawmakers -- Reps. Nancy Mace, Scott Perry and Brian Jack -- joined with Democrats on the subcommittee to approve the subpoena, defying Republican leadership.
