Republican congressman Thomas Massie, who co-authored a law requiring the release of all Jeffrey Epstein files, has said Donald Trump attacked him for keeping a commitment to help victims after the president called him a 'lowlife' on Christmas Day.
Massie, who has served in the US House since 2012, turned the taunt into a fundraising opportunity for his 2026 midterm campaign against a Trump-endorsed opponent. He successfully sought donations after the president's attack.
The Kentucky Republican has become a thorn in Trump's side, co-authoring the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which sailed through Congress in November. Trump has endorsed retired navy seal Ed Gallrein to run against Massie in the Republican primary.
