Excerpt:
After a Democrat special election victory in Arizona, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is declaring victory in his push to force a vote on the release of additional files on the now-deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrat Adelita Grijalva emerged triumphant in the Arizona’s 7th Congressional District special election to fill the vacancy left by her father, Rep. Raul Grijalva, who died in March.
Grijalva’s victory will likely provide the 218th vote necessary to force a vote on Massie’s bill to compel the federal government to release all of its files on Epstein and his sex abuse, which Massie says implicates powerful individuals.
Massie, alongside Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has spearheaded a discharge petition, a special legislative tool used to circumvent House leadership and force a vote.
The petition currently has the signature of every House Democrat, as well as Republican Reps. Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.
Grijalva told CNN that the Epstein files issue was important on the campaign trail.
