Two congressmen push a new Epstein transparency bill to force cooperation on state-level prosecutions and expose the New Mexico Zorro Ranch case.

This is bad news for the Trump administration and named billionaires, and good news for Epstein victims still fighting to get their files.

  • Massie and Khanna introduced a follow-up Epstein bill after their first one forced the release of millions of documents.
  • The new bill forces the U.S. attorney general to help state prosecutors go after Epstein's co-conspirators, focused on crimes at the New Mexico Zorro Ranch that aren't blocked by time limits.
  • It also lets victims sue to get their own withheld FBI files and strips the Justice Department of privileges it uses to hold documents back.
  • The fight cracked Trump's base and started his approval slipping, with even loyalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene breaking from him over it.
  • JD Vance admitted on Rogan that Epstein was tied to the highest levels of U.S. and Israeli intelligence, while denying Trump did anything wrong or was blackmailed.

Outlook: The bill sets up a court fight over whether the administration is illegally withholding the remaining Epstein files, with millions of documents still unreleased.
