US EditionKentucky Congressman, Colleagues Joined by Epstein Accusers Calling for Release of All Files
Kentucky Republicans Thomas Massie and James Comer differ on transparency, with Massie seeking full release of Epstein records and Comer leading a committee investigation, amid survivor demands.
- Massie, speaking inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, filed a discharge petition requiring 218 signatures to force a House vote on full DOJ Epstein records, but Speaker Mike Johnson urged support for the Oversight Committee process instead.
- Comer’s Oversight Committee released more than 30,000 pages and issued subpoenas, with Speaker Mike Johnson confirming House Republicans’ endorsement on September 3.
- Survivors at a Capitol news conference and Republican allies including Rep. Lauren Boebert demanded transparency and accountability, with Boebert among four GOP members endorsing the discharge petition on Wednesday.
- In a Sept. 3 press release, Speaker Mike Johnson said House Republicans voted to endorse the Oversight Committee’s investigation and advance Resolution 668 to formalize document release with privacy protections.
- With pro-Trump pressure mounting, President Donald Trump has vowed to recruit a Republican challenger to Massie, while a pro-Trump super PAC runs anti-Massie ads and the petition still needs six Republican signatures to succeed.
