Khanna, Massie Say They Can Force Another Epstein Vote

Friday, September 18, 2026

Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced Thursday they've secured commitments for the 218 signatures needed to force another vote the release of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The big picture: Answers about the disgraced financier and his web of wealthy connections have continued to haunt the administration, with Attorney General Todd Blanche now facing the threat of contempt proceedings over the Epstein files.

This is the bipartisan duo's second push in less than a year after they forced their first Epstein transparency bill through Congress, which the president signed after initially opposing the effort.

"The bottom line: Massie and Khanna's victory could renew one of the most disruptive Hill fights of the president's second term " but not until after the critical midterm election.

Khanna's post read, "We will not rest until the Epstein abusers are held accountable and there is justice."

Donald is going to be a Lame Duck after the Mid Terms, easier to shoot down.

@#1 ... Khanna's post read, "We will not rest until the Epstein abusers are held accountable and there is justice." ...

Kudos for that statement.

In this instance, though, it is not just a statement.

Rep Khanna has shown a focused drive to help those who have been abused in the Epstein affair.

Major kudos to him for that.

Hoping that the Epstein Files will never be released.

Why don't those that have been abused (who ever they are), just help themselves? Name names, sue the living day lights out of them?

I read they're serious zbout naming names if nothing happens.... well just name names .... what are you waiting for?

Khanna is an ambulance chaser BTW .. this guy is horrible.

You think that the victims are trying to get away with something? What?

Of course, the same question is better applied to Trump and your "people". The full Epstein Files should have been released years ago.

Now, we all KNOW that Trump is trying to get away with something: Covering for child predators. Which makes him a predator himself.

Why do you want to cover for child predators?

Serious question. Let's unravel the why of you.

Don't you think that it's interesting that Donald Trump is content to let the world suspect the worst about his sexual behavior?

That suggests that confirming what is worst is to identify something truly horrible.

You know that this Epstein stuff is going to be hanged around your neck for the rest of your life.

You're going to have to lie about your support for the pedophile conspiracy.

I know that you're up to it.

As long as he 'thinks' he can own him a lib, 1Nitwit will diss the victims to his heart's content.
