Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) discharge petition on Wednesday garnered enough support to force a vote on legislation that would force the Justice Department to release more files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
With Rep. John Garamendi’s (D-CA) signature, Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) Epstein Files II discharge petition reached the 218 names needed to force House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to call a vote on the legislation, after the pair launched the effort in early September. Three other Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Nancy Mace (R-SC), and Ralph Norman (R-SC), joined Massie and all Democrats in signing the petition.
