Ten victims are slated to testify, some of whom haven’t spoken since Epstein’s first arrest in 2005.

Khanna voiced optimism that he and Massie would have the votes to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would force the House to vote on the government’s complete release of files related to Epstein.

“We’ve got 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Look, this is not about Donald Trump, and it’s not partisan. This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls,” he said.

The White House’s handling of the Epstein files invited rare internal criticism from Republicans, triggering a surge in July. President Donald Trump’s anger over the backlash closed off most open criticism among Republicans in Congress, with Massie emerging as an exception.
