Massie hits critics after latest Epstein files release: 'It was not a hoax' [View all]

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) hit back on Saturday amid a mounting effort from a super PAC to replace him in the upcoming midterm elections, saying he is being unfairly targeted for pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

“It was not a hoax, I cannot be bullied, I am not done, and this is why those in power are doing everything in their power to defeat me,” Massie wrote on the social platform X on Saturday.

Super PAC “MAGA KY” raised $2 million from June 19-30 last year, the group disclosed in a new Federal Election Committee filing. The fund’s top donor is American hedge fund owner Paul Singer, who contributed $1 million. John Paulson donated $250,000 to the group.

Massie said these two donors are targeting him because of his involvement in a bipartisan group of legislators pushing for the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Republican representative alleged that Paulson appeared in Epstein’s “black book,” a contact log kept by the disgraced financier.
