Attorney General Pam Bondi told Massie that little remained to release and later faced questions about the department’s investigation.
The article traces how Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, alongside survivors and Republican lawmakers, built support for releasing Epstein-related records, which the Justice Department later released in large numbers. It examines the resulting scrutiny of the Trump administration and Democrats, while noting that allegations in the records are not necessarily verified and that Trump has not been accused of Epstein-related wrongdoing by law enforcement.
