Thomas Massie Files to Run for Office in 2028 After House Primary Loss; Massie Warns More Epstein Retribution Is Coming

/4 Comments/in , /by

By Newsweek. Representative Thomas Massie has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for the 2028 election cycle, signaling a potential political comeback after losing his recent House primary.

The announcement comes a week after the Kentucky Republican lost to Ed Gallrein in the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, with 45.1 percent of the vote to Gallrein’s 54.9 percent. Massie’s loss came last Tuesday after a bruising campaign and a loud feud with President Donald Trump, who called him the “worst congressman in the Republican Party.”

Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, announced the filing in a post on X just after noon ET on Memorial Day.

“I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race,” the post said. “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.”

Thomas Massie accuses Todd Blanche of violating law over Epstein files

By The Hill. There’s a growing divide in how the Jeffrey Epstein fallout is being handled on both sides of the Atlantic, and now Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is turning up the pressure from inside his own party.

In a new interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Massie accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel of perjury and misleading the public about the Epstein files and whether other powerful people are implicated. And he made clear he’s not backing down.

Kristen Welker: “You have named names in the Epstein files in the past. Can we expect you to name more names in the coming weeks and months?”

Massie: “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 to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director Kash Patel at the top because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files. Even Melania doesn’t believe that.”

That’s a pretty extraordinary accusation, and it speaks to the broader frustration surrounding the Epstein investigation: years later, many Americans still believe the full story has not been told. (Read more from “Thomas Massie accuses Todd Blanche of violating law over Epstein files” HERE)

Ousted Republican Warns More Epstein Retribution Is Coming

By Yahoo News. Republican Representative Thomas Massie has vowed to go scorched earth on the Trump administration—by unveiling previously unmentioned names related to the Epstein files.

The rogue Kentucky lawmaker pointed fingers at Donald and Melania Trump during an interview with NBC News’s Meet the Press Sunday, claiming that the first lady is well aware that the Justice Department’s public rollout of its investigation into the pedophilic web is incomplete.

Acting Attorney General “Todd Blanche is violating the law; there’s still millions of files they haven’t released,” Massies said. “We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know the 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 to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top, and with the FBI Director Kash Patel at the top, because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files.

Epstein Bombshells Still Buried as DOJ Drags Feet on File Release

/82 Comments/in , /by

When President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 19, many believed a long-awaited public reckoning was finally at hand. The law required the Justice Department to release unclassified records related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, raising hopes that years of secrecy surrounding his crimes and associates might soon come to an end.

Instead, the process has moved at a crawl — and nearly two months later, the vast majority of the files remain hidden from public view.

The first release, which arrived on December 19 just before the Christmas holiday, consisted of a small and heavily redacted batch of documents. Rather than providing clarity, the records left many observers frustrated, offering little new information and raising fresh questions about what the government is withholding.

A second release followed weeks later, but even after two rounds of disclosures, officials acknowledge that less than 1 percent of the material under review has been made public.

The Justice Department insists the delay is the result of logistical challenges rather than intentional stonewalling. In a letter sent to federal judges this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi and other DOJ officials said the department is dealing with “inevitable glitches due to the sheer volume of materials.”

According to the letter, more than 500 federal prosecutors and staff members are now assigned to reviewing and redacting millions of pages from investigations into Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Officials say they are making “substantial progress,” but declined to offer any timeline for when additional documents might be released.

Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, wrote that the review has uncovered significant duplication across files, making it difficult to estimate the total number of unique documents. He added that the technical demands of processing such a large archive require constant attention.

So far, the material that has been released includes photographs, court records, and internal FBI documents. Some files revealed new details about the planning of Epstein’s 2019 arrest, while others showed that complaints about his behavior had been made to federal authorities years before formal investigations began.

What has not emerged, however, is what many advocates and members of the public expected: concrete evidence implicating prominent or powerful figures who associated with Epstein.

The lack of bombshell revelations has fueled suspicion among transparency advocates who pushed for the law’s passage. They argue that the slow pace and heavy redactions undermine the purpose of the legislation.

Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Since then, questions about the full scope of his criminal network have persisted, along with demands that the government make its records public.

For now, those seeking answers remain in limbo — waiting to see whether the Justice Department ultimately delivers on its promise of transparency, or whether the Epstein files will continue to be released in small, carefully filtered fragments.
