House Republican leaders are preparing for a late night in the chamber as they try to jam through President Donald Trump’s $9 billion package of cuts to federal funding — after a day of intense talks with GOP holdouts demanding a vote on a Jeffrey Epstein-related measure.

Republican leadership sources say the plan is to push the bill, which would formally enshrine a slice of the funding cuts sought by Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, through the chamber sometime Thursday night — with the potential to spill into the overnight hours.

The DOGE cuts bill – known as a “recissions package” on Capitol Hill – would cancel $9 billion in funding to foreign aid and public broadcasting. Roughly $8 billion will be taken from congressionally approved foreign aid programs as part of the White House’s efforts to dismantle the US Agency for International Development. Another $1.1 billion comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund NPR and PBS.

The issue of more transparency over the Epstein case has percolated for days on Capitol Hill and placed a wedge between Trump and even some of his most steadfast supporters in the House GOP. Republican leadership spent hours with House Rules Committee members Thursday afternoon, negotiating a path forward.

The committee later voted Thursday night to advance the DOGE cuts package, a key hurdle the bill needed to clear before it can come to the floor for consideration.
