Khanna and Massie Prepare Contempt Action Over Epstein Files

The Justice Department released Epstein-related records in a partial, heavily redacted batch. Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie said they were preparing or considering inherent-contempt action against Attorney General Pam Bondi over the release. Left-leaning outlets frame Khanna’s push as accountability for redactions and omissions, with some questioning whether powerful people are being protected. Center outlets detail proposed congressional remedies and competing claims about legal compliance. Right-leaning outlets also stress the bipartisan push for fuller disclosure, often alongside the department’s defense.
