Short List of Republicans Joining Thomas Massie to Force Epstein Files VoteNewsweek reports that Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman joined Thomas Massie's discharge petition, which reached the 218 signatures needed to force a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill letting survivors and officials sue to enforce release of the files. Massie, citing withheld and redacted records, accuses the Justice Department of flouting the original law, while the department says it has complied by releasing roughly 3 1/2 million pages.
