Thomas Massie is declaring victory on his move to force a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files after the election to fill a vacant Arizona House seat. And he says House Speaker Mike Johnson and "some of the powers that be in DC are in full panic right now" about it. The Kentucky congressman has drawn the combined ire of President Donald Trump and Republican leaders for opposing much of the president's agenda and leading the charge on the Epstein files. And he said his three GOP partners are coming under duress for signing onto his effort to force a vote on releasing them, against the wishes of party leaders. "They came back and tried to get the four of us to take our names off of the petition," Massie told Semafor after an event in his Northern Kentucky district.
