Why It Matters
The first Epstein Files Transparency Act went into effect in November 2025.
Massie, in his statement on the social media platform of the US-based company
Explaining that he is working with Democratic Congress members to put the bill to vote in the House of Representatives in a short time, Massie reported that 214 Democrats and 4 Republican members of the House of Representatives supported the initiative.
However, reaching 218 signatures does not mean that the bill has been directly accepted. In order for the bill to become law, it must first pass the House of Representatives, then the Senate, and be signed by US President Donald Trump.
Once the required number of signatures is reached, the bill is expected to be put to vote in the House of Representatives in early December.
"Epstein Files Transparency Act"
The first "Epstein Files Transparency Act", prepared under the leadership of Massie and Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, was passed by the US Congress and came into force in November 2025 with Trump's signature.
The law required the Department of Justice to publicly release investigative documents regarding Epstein by December 19, 2025, with limited exceptions such as victim protection and ongoing investigations.
On the other hand, Massie argued that the current law was not sufficiently implemented and stated that they aimed to supervise the obligations regarding the disclosure of documents through the judiciary with the new regulation.
Jeffrey Epstein affair
Epstein, who was tried on charges of sexually abusing dozens of girls under the age of 18 and creating a prostitution network, was found dead on August 10, 2019, in his cell in New York's Manhattan Metropolitan Central Prison, where he was detained.
The announced Epstein case files included famous names such as former Prince Andrew, US President Donald Trump, former US President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former US Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also announced that, as a result of its investigation with the US Department of Justice, it could not find any evidence that a "client list" of famous names was kept, and that it was concluded that Epstein, who was claimed to have been killed to cover up the crime of people including government officials, celebrities and business people, actually committed suicide in his cell.
