Kentucky's U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie is calling for the release of files connected with accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The Kentucky Republican, a frequent critic of President Trump, teamed with a Democrat in a maneuver that could force G.O.P. leaders to hold a vote on the matter within weeks.

Massie's petition, filed alongside California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, has garnered support among those with frustrations on both sides of the political aisle. It would force a vote in the U.S. House on releasing the files related to Epstein.
