Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, believes that there are other motives behind President Donald Trump’s persistence in investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Democrat ties.
The GOP lawmaker is not pleased with Trump’s focus on getting to the bottom of the late sex offender’s relationship with top Democrats. While speaking to ABC News on Sunday, Massie suggested that the sudden interest is little more than a ploy to avoid releasing the files.
Watch:

“The president has been saying this is a hoax, he’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax,” Massie said. “And I have another concern about these investigations that he’s announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can’t be released. So this might be a big smoke screen, these investigations to open a bunch of them as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.”
This comes as Epstein survivors are calling on Congress to release the files:
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have released a powerful video demanding that Congress finally make the Epstein files public.
The women describe the trauma they endured as minors, holding up childhood photos to show who they were when the abuse happened.

“It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows, it’s time to shine a light into the darkness,” said one of the victimized women.

There are no excuse not to release Epstein’s files and prosecute the clients/sex abusers

We need to hear the truth and let the cards fall where they may. Whoever is involved in the Epstein files should go through the fire if they’re found to be guilty.

Even if they release them, how can we know they’re legit?

They’ll never be released just because of how much further it all goes than sex trafficking, from arm sales to the narcotics networks. And the amount of government officials tied up in all will keep it classified forever.

So we’ve been told the reason the names of the perpetrators couldn’t be released because we had to protect the identity of these women.
Now they’re out making videos.
Yeah OK.
