THERE'S THIS:
Looking out into the room when he delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump will be faced by more than a dozen survivors and family members of those abused by Jeffrey Epstein.
Democratic lawmakers have invited the survivors as guests for the presidents primetime speech after the Trump administration failed to release all the files on the pedophile or charge any co-conspirators.
The president himself has repeatedly raged that the investigation into the convicted sex offender is a hoax by Democrats, despite campaigning on releasing the files.

THEN THERE'S THIS. Reason seems pretty apparent, right?
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) with a last-minute demand for changes to the event, the speaker revealed on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference in the Capitol, Johnson told members of the press that he had received a phone call from Trump shortly after the U.S. mens hockey team defeated Canada at the Olympics on Sunday.
The president called me Sunday night, and he said: 'Mike, we gotta make some changes, we need some more guests!' Johnson said.
Okay, well, you know the State of the Union is a very well-attended event and the gallery is already full, and we have waiting lists of people who want to be there. I said: 'Mr. President, how many people are we talking about?' [He said:] 'I think the whole team.' So we're going to work out logistics and somehow, some way, we'll squeeze in the hockey players tonight.

Underscoring the fact that he was never serious about that invitation.
