U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he plans to publicly name alleged associates of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before leaving Congress and said there would be no high-level arrests while Todd Blanche and Kash Patel remain in power.
"Yes. Todd Blanche is violating the law. There's still millions of files they haven't released. We know from talking to the victims' lawyers that their own 302 forms haven't been released. We know that files have been over-redacted.
I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. I don't think it's possible to get convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and FBI Director Kash Patel at the top, because they've effectively both perjured themselves by saying there's nobody else in the files.
Even Melania doesn't believe that. The first lady knows Jeffrey Epstein didn't act alone.
And here's the great thing, Kristen - whether I'm in Congress or not, the Epstein Files Transparency Act is law and it goes on for years. So if we can't get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next people who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individuals are not releasing now."
