Khanna and Massie Said They Were Considering Contempt Charges Over Epstein Files. Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie said they were considering using Congress’s inherent contempt powers against Attorney General Pam Bondi. The lawmakers accused the Justice Department of failing to release all eligible files related to Jeffrey Epstein by a congressionally mandated deadline. Massie said inherent contempt was the fastest way to secure justice for victims, arguing it could fine Bondi for each day documents remained unreleased. Senator Tim Kaine cautioned that calls for impeachment were premature, urging lawmakers to use funding and oversight tools instead. Khanna and Massie previously led passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the Trump administration to release unclassified Epstein-related files by December 19. Although the Justice Department released thousands of documents, lawmakers said key materials were still missing, prompting bipartisan criticism. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said officials were still redacting sensitive information to protect victims and dismissed threats of contempt or impeachment. The dispute intensified scrutiny of how the Justice Department handled the release, as lawmakers debated accountability measures and next steps.
