Republican Rep. Thomas Massie labeled the Trump presidency the ‘Epstein administration’ while accusing Attorney General Pam Bondi of failing to release all of the records tied to the deceased pedophile. The Kentucky congressman delivered the blunt assessment during an interview on ABC’s This Week, escalating a bitter dispute between Trump and members of Congress demanding greater transparency over the Epstein files. Massie did not mince words as he accused the Department of Justice of failing to deliver the transparency President Trump had promised.
‘Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in New York City and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent, but he’s not,’ Massie said. ‘He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.’ The extraordinary rebuke from a sitting Republican congressman laid bare a deepening fracture inside the GOP over the handling of the Epstein files, transforming what had once been a simmering dispute into a full-blown internal revolt. The Kentucky Republican went further, suggesting that entrenched wealth and political influence were working against efforts to expose the truth.
