Massie Says GOP Leaders in ‘Full Panic’ Over Epstein Files
September 24, 2025 at 12:03 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is declaring victory on his move to force a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files after the election to fill a vacant Arizona House seat, Semafor reports.

And he says House Speaker Mike Johnson and “some of the powers that be in DC are in full panic right now” about it.
