Rep. Thomas Massie criticized the DOJ for its rationale behind not releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ concluded there was no client list despite earlier assertions, causing frustration among Trump supporters who desired more transparency. Massie emphasized that his proposed legislation would protect victims' identities, countering the DOJ's claims of victim sensitivity. Tensions arose between Massie and Speaker Mike Johnson, reflecting disagreements within the party regarding information on Epstein. Massie advocates for justice for victims and accountability over the DOJ's current stance.
Sensitive information related to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. One of our highest priorities is combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims.
I wanna read you a little bit of a DOJ memo. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither one of those ends.'
That's a strawman, Massie responded, noting that his legislation would ensure victims' names are redacted. So, they're hiding behind that.
We're trying to get justice for the victims and transparency for America.
