The U.S. House is preparing to revisit the investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein when lawmakers return from the August recess, according to several lawmakers involved in the push. Representative Thomas Massie said he and Representative Ro Khanna will host a press conference with Epstein survivors once Congress reconvenes, arguing that the issue "isn't going away." Advocates in both parties are eyeing imminent subpoena deadlines they say could compel the release of remaining Epstein files, including flight logs and correspondence that have never been made public. Massie suggested that rank-and-file members are exploring procedural tactics to force consideration of the subpoenas even if House leadership resists. Axios reported that a bloc of Republican populists is willing to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson to demand votes not only on the Epstein records but also on a separate proposal to restrict stock trading by lawmakers—a move that, if successful, would highlight growing frustration with leadership on transparency issues.
