WASHINGTON − Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, and Ro Khanna, D-California, are voicing optimism about their ability to force an unsanitized release of the Justice Department's files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"We have the votes," Khanna said Sept. 7 on ABC News' “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”.
"I think we're going to get a resounding vote on this," Massie told Stephanopoulos during the same program.
Trump and Epstein were friends for more than a decade in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly told Trump in the spring that he is named in the files.
Epstein associated with various rich and powerful people for years, including not just Trump but also President Bill Clinton.
Being named in the files or having associated with Epstein doesn't mean a person engaged in wrongdoing. »
