Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie says he is close to securing 218 signatures in the House to force a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s federal investigation files. If he reaches that threshold, the discharge petition would bring the matter to the floor for further debate and potential disclosure.

Representative Massie vows to press on with his resolution related to Jeffrey Epstein, despite 33,000 recently released files that many conservatives find inadequate. A petition to force a vote on the House floor could reach the necessary signatures by Wednesday morning, setting the stage for a potentially pivotal debate.
