Massie names Epstein ‘coconspirators,’ discusses new Epstein files legislation
Massie says the government is withholding more than 3 million Epstein files as he seeks 218 signatures to force a House vote.
- On Monday, Representative Thomas Massie read 14 names of alleged Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor, simultaneously launching a discharge petition to force a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.
- The Department of Justice continues to withhold over 3 million Epstein-related records, despite President Donald Trump signing the original Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025, prompting the new legislative push.
- To force a vote, Massie must gather 218 signatures for his discharge petition; the Epstein Files Transparency Act II grants state attorneys general and survivors standing to challenge Justice Department withholding in court.
- Massie stated the move aims to "shame the Department of Justice into releasing the names of more co-conspirators," though some outlets frame the floor speech as a political maneuver rather than substantive transparency push.
- Nearly 3.5 million pages were released under the 2025 law, yet legal experts doubt another bill alone will end the department's delay, testing whether bipartisan support can again compel transparency on this rare flashpoint issue.
