Republican congressman Thomas Massie has criticised Donald Trump for ordering attorney general Pam Bondi to examine Democrats with ties to Jeffrey Epstein, questioning whether the president is making a “last-ditch effort” to keep the full files from becoming public.
Massie, along with Democratic congressman Ro Khanna, leads a bipartisan push to make all government-held Epstein files public. Both raised concerns about the White House's latest actions, with Massie speaking on ABC’s This Week to voice his criticism.
His comments follow demands from Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for the release of all Epstein documents, despite the issue causing a rift with Trump. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions within the Republican party over transparency regarding the Epstein case.
