Rep.Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep.Ro Khanna (D-CA) are promoting an amendment to their previous Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) to further investigate the Trump administration's handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.The new legislation aims to compel the U.S.attorney general to cooperate with state attorneys general seeking to prosecute Epstein co-conspirators under state law, addressing concerns that the initial bill did not fully expose all relevant files.Critics argue the Trump administration withheld millions of documents and redacted information beyond legal limits.

Massie, who lost his GOP primary race to a Trump-backed candidate in May, emphasized the bill's goal of removing executive privileges to withhold records and allowing judicial oversight of compliance with legislative mandates.

The amendment follows the release of 3 million documents under the original EFTA but faces challenges from federal agencies resisting full disclosure.

The legislation highlights ongoing tensions between congressional oversight and executive branch secrecy, particularly regarding Epstein's alleged crimes and connections to high-profile figures.
