🇺🇸 Massie lands another blow against Trump as he forces a fresh showdown over hidden Epstein files
With just weeks left in Congress, the Kentucky Republican has secured 218 signatures to bypass House leadership and force another vote.
His new bill would allow Epstein survivors, state prosecutors and lawmakers to sue the Justice Department over allegedly withheld records.
Only FOUR Republicans joined Massie, alongside 214 Democrats.
Even a Republican-led House committee has criticized the administration’s excessive redactions and failures to protect victims.
Massie may be leaving Congress, but he isn’t going quietly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on November 10 that Russian military and intelligence officials falsely claimed to the US and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi that Russian forces control half of the part of Donbas that Ukrainian forces, in reality, still control. The Kremlin has long made exaggerated and grossly inaccurate claims of Russian battlefield successes. The Russian MoD, in fact, regularly claims a frontline trace that does not correspond with reality at all.— https://x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/2120728290054836473
