House Votes 427-1 to Release Epstein Files After Massie Forces Vote Over Speaker's Resistance

Rep. Thomas Massie used procedural maneuvers to force a 427-1 House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act despite months of resistance from Speaker Mike Johnson. Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana cast the sole no vote. The bill passed with bipartisan support and was sent to the Senate, which passed it by unanimous consent the following day. Massie, Ro Khanna, and MTG held a press conference with Epstein survivors.
