- The truth about NSA wiretapping and mass surveillance

Rep. Thomas Massie | My Price Is My Life With James O’Keefe #11

Congressman Thomas Massie stood with Jeffrey Epstein survivors at a historic press conference on Capitol Hill, demanding the full release of the Epstein Files. Those demands were echoed by allies from both parties.
According to Massie, Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a placebo resolution, billionaires are spending millions to crush him, and congress members whisper support in private but stay silent in public.
James O’Keefe showed Massie a preview of OMG’s DOJ investigation that confirmed the pattern of obfuscation that he has been seeing happen around the full Epstein files release.
But Massie isn’t backing down. He says the truth will come out, and when it does, D.C. will have to choose between protecting the powerful or standing with the survivors.
