Representative Thomas Massie has called for an investigation into 14 individuals over connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Massie has launched a renewed push for transparency of government files related to Epstein.

Massie stated a year has passed since the Epstein Files Transparency Act became law. Despite this, the DOJ is withholding over three million files. He aims to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to involve state courts and push for accountability.
