MASSIE: Trump “may be covering for some rich and powerful people” in Epstein files – The Hill
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said late Tuesday that President Trump “may be covering for some rich and powerful people,” as the lawmaker pushes for more transparency in the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to The Hill.
“I think the best way to clear President Trump’s name is to release all the files,” Massie told MSNBC’s “All In” host Chris Hayes. “I actually don’t think he’s done anything criminal; I think he may be covering for some rich and powerful people that are friends of his. And in fact, some of those billionaires are running ads against me in Kentucky right now.”
“One of them is in Epstein’s black book. So, we’re, you know, we’re getting close to the center of power here,” he continued in the clip, highlighted by Mediaite. “And I think, you know, embarrassment is not a reason to conceal all of this stuff.”
The Bluegrass State lawmaker added, “We’ve got to get it out in the open, regardless of whose friends might be incriminated.”
