Khanna, Massie Push for Epstein Records Release
Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are escalating their bipartisan effort to fully release Jeffrey Epsteins records, warning Attorney General Pam Bondi of potential congressional action if the Justice Department continues to delay. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by President Trump, mandates the release of unclassified Epstein documents while safeguarding victims information and ongoing investigations. However, the Justice Department has missed the deadline and released an incomplete first batch with heavy redactions and missing files. Khanna and Massie propose a penalty plan, including fines of up to five thousand dollars per day if the department fails to comply. Critics argue that the partial release undermines the laws intent for transparency, while victims rights groups have expressed concerns. The Justice Department maintains that it is following the law and making necessary redactions for court orders and victim privacy. As discussions intensify on Capitol Hill, bipartisan support for stronger measures grows if more files are not released soon.
