Massie secured enough signatures to force a House vote on releasing the remaining Epstein files, thrusting the dispute over Justice Department transparency into the spotlight.
The discharge petition reached the required 218 signatures today, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after four Republicans and all Democrats added their names.
Massie has accused the Justice Department of flagrantly ignoring disclosure requirements, claiming it unlawfully withholds over 3 million Epstein files and heavily redacts those it does release.
