"On Wednesday, as one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims spoke outside the Capitol, pleading for government candor, fighter jets roared overhead, briefly drowning her out. Thomas Massie, the rogue Republican member of Congress who'd organized the news conference along with Democrat Ro Khanna, found the timing suspicious. That flyover, I believe, was scheduled after this press conference was announced, he told a scrum of reporters afterward."
"Massie had no evidence that the planes were meant to disrupt speeches by the Epstein survivors he'd helped bring to Washington, where they were lobbying for a bill mandating the release of the Epstein files. But his speculation spoke to the gulf of distrust between him and the administration. There will be no limit to the weapons of mass distraction that the White House will apply to try to make this go away, he said."
Fighter jets roared over the Capitol during a press conference where a Jeffrey Epstein victim pleaded for government candor, briefly drowning her out. Representative Thomas Massie, who helped organize the event, suspected the timing but acknowledged no evidence that the flyover aimed to disrupt survivors' speeches. Massie warned that the White House could use broad "weapons of mass distraction" to minimize the issue. The MAGA movement and much of right-wing media have reduced attention to the Epstein files, and many Republicans have expressed indifference. The news conference aimed to pressure lawmakers to mandate release of the Epstein files and counter conspiracy theories.
