WATCH LIVE: Khanna and Massie hold press conference with 10 Jeffrey Epstein victims
The article reports on a joint press conference held by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) alongside ten victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex trafficker. The event aims to advocate for the passage of the “Epstein Files clarity Act,” a bill intended to mandate the full release of government records related to Epstein. Some of the victims present have not spoken publicly since Epstein’s initial arrest in 2005.Khanna expressed confidence that there are enough votes-supported by members from both parties-to pass the legislation. The effort is framed as a bipartisan pursuit of justice for victims of abuse by powerful individuals, rather than a politically motivated issue. The article also notes past internal republican criticism of the White House’s handling of Epstein-related files, with Massie standing out as one of the few GOP members openly challenging the administration.
WATCH LIVE: Khanna and Massie hold press conference with 10 Jeffrey Epstein victims
Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) are holding a joint press conference alongside victims of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to help advocate a bill to release records relating to the disgraced financier.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.
Ten victims are slated to testify, some of whom haven’t spoken since Epstein’s first arrest in 2005.
Khanna voiced optimism that he and Massie would have the votes to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would force the House to vote on the government’s complete release of files related to Epstein.
MASSIE AND KHANNA TO HOLD JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE WITH EPSTEIN VICTIMS
“We’ve got 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Look, this is not about Donald Trump, and it’s not partisan. This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls,” he said.
The White House’s handling of the Epstein files invited rare internal criticism from Republicans, triggering a surge in July. President Donald Trump’s anger over the backlash closed off most open criticism among Republicans in Congress, with Massie emerging as an exception.
