Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) discharge petition for a second Epstein files bill reached 218 signatures on Wednesday morning, less than two months before he leaves Congress - enough to force a House vote on legislation that would let Epstein's victims, state prosecutors and members of Congress sue the Justice Department over records it is still holding back.
🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !
I'm working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) November 11, 2026
Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) supplied the 218th signature, a day after Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) signed. The petition carries all 214 House Democrats and four Republicans: Massie, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman of South Carolina, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, none of whom returns in the next Congress. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who backed last year's petition, did not sign this one.
