Trump Foe Massie Wins Over MAGA Allies

July 23, 2025 · 7:30 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Once fighting a lonely battle against Trump, GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has found an issue that is winning him more Republican friends and political allies than he has had all year: his push to release the Jeffrey Epstein files,” NBC News reports.

“Many of Trump’s MAGA allies on and off Capitol Hill are frustrated with Trump and top officials in his administration for dragging their feet in releasing the government’s remaining documents and records related to Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.”

“But they’re rooting for Massie, who has leaned into the fight in recent weeks and made it his sole mission to get the files released.”
