Greene says she got ‘a lot’ of pushback from White House over Epstein discharge petition

Rep. Thomas Massie alleges White House pressure on Republicans to block a petition seeking full release of Epstein files, with less than 1% currently public, amid survivor advocacy.

  • On Tuesday, Representative Thomas Massie filed a House discharge petition to compel release of Epstein-related records, alleging White House staffers block disclosure by urging Republicans not to sign.
  • After the Oversight Committee released more than 30,000 pages on Tuesday, advocates at a September 3, 2025 Capitol Hill event said less than 1% of Epstein files are public, intensifying calls for full disclosure.
  • So far, only four Republicans have signed, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said White House staffers urged her not to sign but blamed them, not President Donald Trump, who called the release demands a `Democrat hoax`.
  • A discharge petition allows members to bypass leadership and force a floor vote, with all 212 Democrats expected to sign, leaving the measure two GOP signatures short of triggering a vote in the House of Representatives.
  • Much of the material traces back to Florida and Mar-a-Lago, with Representative Robert Garcia noting President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi hold power to release the full files.
