The daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. said the White House should make public the files on financier-turned-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after the Trump administration released thousands of files on her father's 1968 assassination over objections from her and other relatives of the civil rights leader.

The Republican speaker truncated the schedule for the week and said he would send lawmakers home on Wednesday to deny Democrats the chance to force votes on whether to release the Epstein material.
