Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) stated over the past hour that a future Justice Department could convict Attorney General Pam Bondi and others for their handling of the Epstein files, which he said violates the rule of law under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, according to an X post by @sentdefender shared between 3:45 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. UTC on Dec. 20, 2025. Massie's statement, posted via @sentdefender at https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2002229283289469379, accuses the handling of serious violations imposed by his legislation. In a related development during the same 59-minute window, an X post by @FellForItAgainA stated that the Trump administration's release of Epstein grand jury documents consists of 119 entirely redacted pages described as "just black rectangles," at https://x.com/FellForItAgainA/status/2002160682612220178. Massie previously posted about the Epstein Files Transparency Act earlier on Dec. 20, sharing attachments including the bill, a Fox Digital statement, and a criminal statute, as reported in a prior update ending at 1:15 a.m. UTC. Ongoing disclosures from Epstein files shared by @AFpost in previous hours include a Jane Doe testimony alleging Jeffrey Epstein offered a 14-year-old girl to President Donald Trump and an IDF sweatshirt found in Epstein's closet, per reports from earlier on Dec. 20.
