House Republicans & Dems Unite on Epstein Files Release

Reps. Massie, Taylor Greene, and Khanna are pressing the Senate to pass their Epstein transparency bill without edits

Here’s the rundown

Read this especially if you’re tracking congressional oversight, transparency battles, or how both parties are positioning themselves around the Epstein fallout.

What Just Happened

The House sponsors behind a bipartisan bill requiring the DOJ to fully release all Epstein files held a briefing urging the Senate to “not muck it up.”
Rep. Ro Khanna stood beside Reps. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene,  joined by Epstein survivors,  insisting the Senate pass the bill clean, with no amendments or delays.
The trio said the public deserves full transparency and that any Senate edits would weaken accountability efforts.

Who Said What

• Khanna warned that the “D.C. swamp” could dilute the bill if senators start negotiating too much.
• Massie and Greene were credited for forcing Tuesday’s vote through a public petition.
• Khanna said both colleagues “suffered extraordinary political consequences” for pushing leadership to take action.

Why It Matters

This is one of the rare issues where far-left and hard-right lawmakers are aligned,  an unusual coalition pushing for the same level of transparency.
The bill would force the DOJ to publicly release Epstein-related documents long shielded from view.
Survivors say this is overdue, while critics warn selective disclosures could reignite political warfare.

The Backdrop

Trump recently said he “doesn’t care” about the files, confusing some Republicans who’ve been pushing for full release.
The House vote follows years of sealed documents, partial court disclosures, and public suspicion surrounding elite networks linked to Epstein.
Momentum for transparency is now higher than at any point since the original case resurfaced.

The Bottom Line

The Senate is now the chokepoint for full public disclosure.
If it passes clean, this becomes the most transparent federal release of Epstein-related files ever.
If senators slow-walk or alter it, expect intense backlash from both parties and from survivors demanding accountability.
