Rep. Thomas Massie has vowed to force a vote on his resolution to release the Department of Justice’s Jeffrey Epstein files after the House returns from its August recess.
The Kentucky Republican and his Democratic co-sponsor, Rep. Ro Khanna, renewed their calls for the files during a pair of Sunday show appearances this week and lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson for allowing the chamber to leave Washington for its annual August recess without acting on the issue.
“I think the pressure will build over August recess,” he said during an interview on ABC’s This Week. “I don’t think it will dissipate like the Speaker hopes that it will.”
