How close is Congress to releasing the Epstein files?

Calls for the release of the entirety of the Epstein files have intensified, with Congress just two signatures away from forcing a vote on the House floor to release all of the records. Representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., is spearheading the effort through a discharge petition, a rare legislative maneuver that allows lawmakers to bypass party leaders if 218 members sign on. Currently, most signatures are from Democrats, with four Republicans also supporting the petition. The petition is only two signatures away from forcing the floor vote.
