Kentucky Rep Massie Leads Bipartisan Push to Release Epstein Files

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., is leading a bipartisan effort with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to compel the release of all government files related to Jeffrey Epstein by using a discharge petition and proposed legislation that would force a House vote and subpoena Epstein's estate. Massie criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for sending Congress home early and blocking a vote on this transparency measure, warning that the GOP could lose its majority if action is not taken. Johnson supports releasing credible evidence but describes Massie and Khanna's approach as reckless due to insufficient protections for victims. Massie emphasized that the push for transparency aligns with President Trump's populist platform and insisted that Americans deserve to see all relevant documents, including financial records and a disputed birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein. On Maxwell, Massie stated that if she has useful information, she should testify, while noting that a potential pardon by President Trump is still under consideration. Maxwell continues to be questioned by the Justice Department regarding her role in Epstein's trafficking network, amid ongoing legal appeals and public scrutiny of the Epstein case within the political landscape.
