Thomas Massie is fighting to force the Justice Department to release over three million Jeffrey Epstein files, pushing his Epstein Files Transparency Act II through Congress despite GOP leadership’s efforts to block it. With his seat on the line and key ally Marjorie Taylor Greene gone, Massie has launched a discharge petition needing 218 signatures — already surpassing 100, including Rep. Nancy Mace. The bill empowers victims to privately view unredacted records mentioning them and allows lawsuits against the DOJ for non-compliance. Though the House cut its September schedule, allies like Rep. Ro Khanna see a path forward via the lame-duck session after midterms, urging reluctant Republicans that transparency is non-negotiable.
