The Inquisitr

The Republican rift has widened into a canyon. On February 15, 2026, Maverick GOP Representative #ThomasMassie stunned audiences during an interview with ABC’s #MarthaRaddatz by labeling the current presidency the "Epstein Administration." The stinging nickname comes on the heels of Attorney General #PamBondi’s combative congressional hearing, where Massie accused the #DOJ of a "massive failure" in transparency regarding the unredacted #EpsteinFiles.  Massie, who has long championed the full release of the documents, slammed Bondi for her "name-calling" and lack of accountability, stating he has "zero confidence" in her leadership. This report breaks down the #Inquisitr analysis of the "300 names" list released by Bondi, the #WhiteHouse response to Massie’s defection, and why the "Epstein Administration" tag is currently the #1 trending topic on #TruthSocial and X.  #ThomasMassie #EpsteinAdministration #PamBondi #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #EpsteinFiles #HouseJudiciary #GOP #USPolitics #Inquisitr #NewsUpdate #WashingtonDC #JusticeDepartment #WhiteHouse #Trump2026 #2026Midterms #Accountability #Transparency #MarthaRaddatz #ABCNews #Signalgate #TruthSocial #MAHA #TrendingNow #InsideTheWhiteHouse #PoliticalScandal #RepublicanRift #NewsAnalysis

00:00Republican Congressman Thomas Massey publicly rebuked President Donald Trump,

00:04referring to the White House as the Epstein administration during a national television

00:08appearance. Massey made the remark Sunday on ABC News this week while discussing a House

00:13Judiciary Committee hearing focused on Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein

00:17files. During the interview, Massey criticized Trump's approach to transparency surrounding

00:21documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Massey stated that although Trump had previously promised

00:26transparency regarding individuals connected to Epstein, he believes that promise has not been

00:30fulfilled. He said he's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration. The

00:36Kentucky Congressman has been an outspoken critic of the administration's handling of the Epstein

00:40related documents. Last July, Massey co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act alongside

00:46Democratic Representative Ro Khanna. After the act became law, the administration released millions

00:51of documents connected to the Epstein case. However, scrutiny followed when only half of the

00:55six million documents were released. Massey said he believes political opposition against

01:00him is tied to his push for greater transparency. He stated that some of the individuals funding

01:04efforts to unseat him have associations with people named in the files, though he did not

01:08allege direct wrongdoing. President Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing related

01:13to Epstein's crimes. Tensions between the two Republicans have escalated in recent months.

01:18Trump endorsed Massey's primary opponent, Ed Galrine, and criticized Massey in a lengthy social

01:23media post, calling him a rhino or Republican in name only.

01:27Massey responded by dismissing the endorsement and questioning Galrine's electoral viability,

01:32noting that his opponent had previously struggled in local races.

01:36Despite the political pressure, Massey reported strong fundraising numbers last year,

01:40particularly during the second quarter, after intensifying his efforts to push for the release

01:43of the Epstein files. The exchange marks one of the sharpest public criticisms of President Trump

01:48from within his own party in recent months. Share your thoughts in the comments and do like for more
