Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the House have come together to support legislation put forward by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to mandate the release of more files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Massie announced Tuesday evening that he would be introducing a discharge petition and could start collecting signatures in a week.
A discharge petition is a procedural tool that can be used in the House. It lets a majority of representatives force a bill out of committee and onto the House floor for a vote. It requires 218 signatures to move forward.
“We all deserve to know what’s in the Epstein files, who’s implicated, and how deep this corruption goes. Americans were promised justice and transparency,” Massie wrote on the social media platform X. “We’re introducing a discharge petition to force a vote in the US House of Representatives on releasing the COMPLETE files.”
Massie said in a separate X post he could start collecting signatures in a week.
