Where did Thomas Massie run off to? I haven’t see him in quite a while talking about this.
Is there anyone that can explain how she has standing to sue? I know Congress passed the law requiring disclosure of the Epstein files, and they haven’t released the Epstein files, and she’s reporting on the release of the Epstein files, and she’s claiming she was damaged. Is that enough? Seriously asking.
