Congress might crack open the vault of secrets surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s dark empire.
The Daily Mail reported that in a rare display of bipartisan grit, Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Ro Khanna have teamed up to champion a bill that could force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release every scrap of investigative material tied to Epstein’s nefarious activities.
This push for transparency kicked off with a bombshell press conference on Wednesday at Capitol Hill, where hundreds, including Epstein survivors and journalists, gathered to demand answers.
The bill, first sponsored by Representative Khanna, a Democrat, has united voices across the aisle in a quest for justice. It’s a refreshing change from the usual partisan squabbling, showing that some issues transcend party lines.
On Tuesday, a day before the press conference, the House Oversight Committee dropped nearly 34,000 pages of Epstein-related files from the Department of Justice, covering his 2019 jailhouse death and flight logs spanning 2000 to 2014.
But here’s the rub—critics from both sides of the political spectrum slammed the release as a dud, with 97% of the content already public and the rest heavily redacted. It’s almost as if the powers that be think we’re too delicate to handle the unvarnished truth.
Representative Massie isn’t buying the half-measures, pushing hard for a discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna’s bill, which would mandate the release of Epstein files within 30 days.
That petition sits at 214 signatures in the House, including just four Republicans, and needs 218 to move forward—meaning every Democrat and at least six GOP members must step up. It’s a tightrope walk, but one worth watching.
At the press conference, Greene and Massie made a bold pledge: if the bill passes, they’ll use their constitutional immunity as lawmakers to read aloud on the House floor the names of Epstein associates accused of abusing underage girls.
This immunity, a safeguard for congressional speech, means they can drop bombshells without fear of legal blowback. Now that’s the kind of accountability we’ve been craving in an era of endless cover-ups.
Greene didn’t mince words about the stakes, saying, “Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to name names like that?” She’s right—pointing fingers at the elite risks ruin for survivors, yet she’s ready to stand in the gap, promising to voice every name if given the chance. It’s a gutsy move against a system often more interested in protecting the powerful than the vulnerable.
She doubled down with fierce resolve: “Yeah, it's a scary thing to name names, but I'm not afraid.” That’s the kind of backbone that cuts through the fog of political correctness and reminds us why some fights are worth picking.
Massie echoed her defiance on social media, stating he and Greene are “willing to name names” under constitutional protection.
It’s a stark contrast to the progressive agenda that often seems more focused on silencing uncomfortable truths than exposing them. This duo is playing hardball, and it’s about time.
Epstein survivors at the event weren’t sitting idly by either, with Lisa Phillips announcing, “I would like to announce here today, we Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list.” She added, “Stay tuned for more details.” Their courage to compile names despite legal risks shows a resolve that shames the bureaucrats dragging their feet.
Massie also took a swipe at the DOJ’s curated releases, noting, “They’re allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information.” He’s spot-on—when 97% of the so-called “new” files are old news, it’s clear someone’s playing gatekeeper. This isn’t transparency; it’s theater.
He didn’t stop there, calling out the redactions: “Some pages are entirely redacted.” If this isn’t a deliberate shield for the guilty, then what is? The American public deserves better than this bureaucratic smoke and mirrors.
Meanwhile, President Trump weighed in after the press conference, dismissing the Epstein files controversy as “a Democrat hoax.”
He argued that thousands of pages have already been released and suggested the focus is a distraction from national successes. While his frustration with political gamesmanship is understandable, the survivors’ pain isn’t a sideshow—it’s the heart of this fight.
Massie countered the hoax narrative directly, insisting, “This is not a hoax.” He emphasized the reality of the victims and the protection of perpetrators, a reminder that this issue isn’t partisan—it’s moral. Let’s hope Congress keeps that focus instead of letting it devolve into another political circus.
