Republican @RepThomasMassie flips the script back to where it should be. Massie explains that release of the Epstein files is justice for the victims and transparency for Americans -- despite Speaker Mike Johnson and Pam Bondi’s false claims to the contrary.
Massie on the DOJ saying they won't release more Epstein info because it could hurt victims: "That's a strawman ... they're hiding behind that ... it's the president's own AG, FBI director, children, and VP who said these files need to be released. We're just trying to hold their…
