Expect something big to happen Tues or Wed [View all]

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had staged a public event with Epstein survivors early last month as part of their effort to drum up support for a discharge petition designed to force the administration to release the secret documents.
