Rep. Massie Seeks House Vote on Epstein Files Amid PAC Attacks

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is pushing to compel a House vote on the release of all government files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, introducing the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act and planning to use a discharge petition if necessary. Massie's efforts follow the Trump administration's conclusion that Epstein died by suicide and left no client list, a finding met with bipartisan criticism and calls from Democrats for a congressional hearing with victims. His push has sparked a fierce political battle with the newly formed MAGA Kentucky PAC, funded by billionaires Paul Singer, John Paulson, and Miriam Adelson, who oppose Massie due to his stance against Israel aid and his challenge to the GOP establishment. The PAC, led by Trump operatives, has spent over $1.5 million on attack ads accusing Massie of betraying President Trump’s agenda by siding with Democrats and foreign adversaries. Massie counters that the PAC is a front for “neocon billionaires” attempting to punish him for his anti-war and anti-aid positions, a message that resonates with his grassroots supporters and strengthens his fundraising. This dispute highlights tensions within the Republican Party and raises concerns about foreign influence and transparency in the Epstein case.
