Thomas Massie Seeks Contempt Action Over Epstein Files Release

Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna criticized the release and said they were considering or preparing congressional action against Attorney General Pam Bondi. Left-leaning outlets emphasize the bipartisan accountability push, including possible impeachment. Center outlets focus on proposed contempt procedures and often include the department’s defense or alternative approaches from lawmakers.
