House Speaker Mike Johnson Tells House to Pack Up Their Trunks and Head Home to avoid Mammoth Scandal in the Room

As Speaker Mike Johnson shutters Congress ahead of schedule—conveniently avoiding any votes or hearings related to the Jeffrey Epstein files—one thing is clear: the political establishment is circling the wagons. The obvious attempts to distract people from the elephant in the room are not working.

Speaker Johnson’s antics provide the latest example.

Journalist Nick Bryant is the man who first obtained and published Epstein’s black book and flight logs. Bryant has been ahead of this story for nearly two decades, breaking ground on the scope and scale of Epstein’s elite network when most media outlets refuse to touch it.

A Ph.D. in all things Epstein, Bryant has the facts that blow up all the narratives the political establishment wants to take hold.

Bryant is uniquely positioned to comment on this latest dereliction of duty. Speaker Johnson’s abrupt shutdown of the House, coming just as calls grow for transparency and accountability, is only the latest in a long line of evasions—mirroring DOJ stonewalling, media distractions, and bipartisan discomfort. As the MSN article notes, even Trump seems eager to shift focus amid growing attention on his own connections to Epstein.

Nick Bryant offers clear-eyed analysis on:

  • How Congress is suppressing action on the Epstein files
  • Why both political parties fear full disclosure
  • The media’s historical failure—and current reluctance—to pursue the truth
  • Ongoing legal efforts involving Epstein’s victims, and why justice remains elusive
  • What the Epstein case reveals about systemic elite impunity

Bryant’s voice is especially timely as the public grows increasingly suspicious of institutional silence. While high-profile figures continue to evade scrutiny, victims are still waiting for answers. Bryant has spent years giving them a voice, and he continues to be one of the few journalists unwilling to look away.

As this story surges back into national focus—with Speaker Johnson’s move as a flashpoint—Nick is available for interviews, panels, or op-eds. He brings a rare mix of deeply sourced reporting, principled clarity, and long-term perspective.

Let me know if you’d like to schedule him for an interview.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…

Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist. He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.

But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.

The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured.  I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally. I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity. In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.  

His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
