A Kentucky congressman is making a promise that has Washington watching the clock. Representative Thomas Massie, who lost his Republican primary earlier this year and will leave office in January 2027, said on NBC’s Meet the Press this past Sunday that he intends to use his time on the House floor to publicly read redacted names from the Jeffrey Epstein files before his term ends. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution gives members of Congress what is called Speech or Debate immunity, meaning they cannot be sued or prosecuted for statements made during official legislative proceedings. Massie has invoked that protection before. In February 2026 he named three men on the floor whose unredacted material he and Representative Ro Khanna had reviewed at the Department of Justice. He has consistently said that survivors of Epstein’s crimes deserve a process that does not depend on the willingness of any single agency to release what it holds. Whether this latest pledge results in more names being read aloud, time will tell. What Scripture says about it is not in doubt. Proverbs 28:13 says, “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” And Luke 8:17 says, “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” The girls who were harmed in Epstein’s network are now women carrying a weight no headline can lift. They did not choose to be part of this story. Justice on this earth is often slow and frequently incomplete. The justice of God is neither. Every name written in a sealed file is already written somewhere else. What does real accountability look like to you when it comes to crimes like these? #justice #truth #america
