Massie: 100 Republicans likely to vote for release of Epstein files - UPI.com

Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said as many as 100 Republicans may vote to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein, amid a last-ditch effort by the White House to stall their release.

Massie said Sunday on ABC News' "This Week" that at least 100 Republicans join Democrats in the House and vote this week for the rest of the Epstein documents to be released.

President Donald Trump this week also ordered the Department of Justice to investigate Democrats and their supporters whose names appear in the files after more than 20,000 documents related to Epstein were released by Congress.

With newly sworn in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., there were enough members of the House to sign a discharge petition forcing a vote on whether to force the DOJ to release all of the files it has on Epstein -- over the objections of Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other Republicans in Congress.
