The lead GOP co-sponsor behind a resolution that would force the Justice Department to release the entirety of its collected evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein said Sunday that his push was to help the convicted pedophile’s victims and would only grow stronger in the coming weeks.
On NBC’s Meet the Press, Rep. Thomas Massie appeared alongside the resolution’s lead Democratic co-sponsor, Rep. Ro Khanna, as the two promoted a resolution that would force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigations.
The issue has become divisive among the Trump-aligned right, especially on podcasting and new media platforms, as Donald Trump angrily insists that his supporters must move on from the investigation and has sought to distract MAGAworld with new allegations about Barack Obama and the investigation into his own 2016 run for the White House.
Massie told moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday that “the release of the Epstein files is emblematic of what Trump ran for” and explained that the president’s MAGA base expected results.
“There seems to be a class of people beyond the law, beyond the judicial system…we all thought that when Trump was elected, he would be the bull in the china shop and break that all up,” said Massie.
