Billions is more accurate in this case.
This is money they didn't have before.
And it came with almost no guardrails.
So I think there is a big desire from Democrats to say who were cut out of that process to use the position they have in the Senate to put guardrails on that money to do the thing that they weren't able to do over the summer and say, we have to put our foot down.

So the story here on Capitol Hill actually begins months ago in July.
And at the time, a lot of lawmakers here were very unhappy that the Trump administration had backtracked in their view on a promise to release the files.
And so two lawmakers, Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, and Thomas Massey, a Republican from Kentucky, decide that they're going to introduce a bill that would force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
At the same time, there's a lot of skepticism that this bill will actually ever come to a vote.
And so Democrats on the House Oversight Committee use the committee to begin forcing subpoenas on the Epstein investigation.

And one telling detail, I think, about this whole saga that gets us to today is that Speaker Mike Johnson does not want to support this bill.
He opposes a bill that would force the Trump administration to do anything on the Epstein files.
