Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) took a victory lap Monday evening after President Donald Trump reversed his opposition to the House vote to release the Epstein files in an appearance on AC360.
With Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) finally sworn into office last week after a 50-day delay, a House petition for a vote to release the files related to deceased convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein had the 218 signatures needed to pass. For months, Trump has denounced the effort as a “Democrat hoax” and publicly berated any Republicans who supported it.
On Sunday, however, Trump wrote a Truth Social post that surprised many, calling for House Republicans to go ahead and vote to release the Epstein files.
Anderson Cooper interviewed Massie and his Democratic co-sponsor for the petition, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) on Monday’s episode, and kicked off the segment by asking Massie what he thought about Trump’s reversal.
“Well, he got tired of us winning, and he decided to join us,” replied Massie with a slight chuckle. “Look, they could have done this four months ago, and instead, they fought us every bit of the way. Now they want to be on our side. We’ll accept their support.”
Massie added that the bill’s supporters were still “a little bit suspicious of this sudden turn of events, so we’ll keep an eye on things,” explaining that they were “worried that maybe they’ll try to muck it up in the Senate.”
He did think that there would be “a straight up or down vote” on Tuesday on the language that he and Khanna had introduced, and expected it to be “a very big vote…at least a veto-proof majority.”
Khanna agreed, saying Trump’s changed position was because “he can do math,” and credited Massie for doing “a great job” rallying Republican support “in defiance of Donald Trump.”
