  "summary": "Three House Republicans, Brian Fitzpatrick, Nancy Mace, and Ralph Norman, have joined U.S. Representative Thomas Massie in pushing for another vote on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a sex offender who died in jail in 2019. This bipartisan effort, known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, has garnered 218 signatures, providing Massie with a victory one day after he failed to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The push comes as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress following midterm victories, signaling a renewed focus on the Epstein investigation.",
