Massie predicts a ‘deluge’ of House Republicans will vote to release Epstein files, and the anticipation is palpable. The buzz around this potential vote is creating a wave of speculation and, to be honest, a healthy dose of skepticism. The core question everyone seems to be asking is: will a significant number of House Republicans actually defy the lingering shadow of Trump and vote to make the Epstein files public?
