Thomas Massie Responds to Trump’s Criticism of His Marriage

Coverage on multiple sides reports that Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie's recent marriage and that Massie responded. Articles on the left, center and right also connect the exchange to Massie's push to release Epstein-related files. Left-leaning outlets frame the remarks as a personal attack and connect Massie's reply to his file-release effort. Center outlets largely report the exchange and response, with some adding the file-release effort or related Republican disputes. Right-leaning outlets place the remarks in a wider Republican feud over Massie's voting behavior and Trump's support for a primary challenger.
