Thomas Massie Says He Will Force Vote On Releasing Epstein Files

Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a discharge petition Tuesday to force a vote in the House on the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Massie joined Democrat California Rep. Ro Khanna in submitting a resolution known as the ‘Epstein Files Transparency Act.’ To bring the resolution to a vote, Massie’s discharge petition needs a simple majority — 218 members — to move forward.

“We all deserve to know what’s in the Epstein files, who’s implicated, and how deep this corruption goes. Americans were promised justice and transparency. We’re introducing a discharge petition to force a vote in the 🇺🇸US House of Representatives on releasing the COMPLETE files,” Massie wrote on X.

The bipartisan resolution calls for all documents related to Epstein to be released no later than 20 days after the “date of enactment” of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Attorney General Pam Bondi would also be directed to publish a “searchable and downloadable format of all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” held by the DOJ, FBI, and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices.

The resolution says “no record shall be withheld, delayed or redacted on the basis of any of the following: embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.”

Since February, Bondi has been vocal about the administration pushing for transparency on cases such as Epstein’s and also the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. Appearing on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Feb. 26, Bondi said
