The Epstein Discharge Petition Appears To Reach The Threshold To Trigger A Vote (9/25/25)

The Thomas Massie/Ro Khana discharge petition to bring Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files to the House floor has surged forward, closing in on the 218 votes required. With all 212 Democrats unified in support, the math is simple: just a handful of Republicans breaking ranks will guarantee the petition’s success. The momentum has been further fueled by the Arizona special election, where the victor pledged to add their name as soon as they’re sworn in, potentially becoming the tipping point.Republican leadership, however, is digging in its heels. Reports have surfaced of threats and pressure campaigns aimed at peeling away GOP support, a reflection of the desperation to keep the vote from hitting the magic number. But if Massie secures the final signatures, leadership will lose control, and the House will be compelled to go on record in full public view. At that moment, lawmakers will have to choose between protecting secrets or siding with transparency—an unavoidable reckoning that could fracture party lines and ignite a political firestorm.to contact me:[email protected]:House nears vote to compel release of Jeffrey Epstein filesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
