US EditionEpstein Discharge Petition Poised to Hit Its Mark, Forcing House Vote to Release Files
The bipartisan petition has reached 218 signatures, compelling a House vote to release DOJ files on Jeffrey Epstein with privacy safeguards for victims, despite GOP leadership resistance.

- This effort follows public demand for transparency after heavily redacted documents were released, and amid ongoing investigation subpoenas and judge refusals to unseal grand jury materials.
- Massie faces pushback from House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump, who oppose the bill and reportedly pressure supporters to withdraw endorsements.
- Massie has secured bipartisan support from all House Democrats and several Republicans, including Boebert, Greene, and Mace, with 217 lawmakers backing the petition and more expected.
- If passed by the House, the bill will move to the Senate, but its final outcome remains uncertain.
