One of the most outspoken members of the US Republican Party over the Epstein files has told the BBC he is 'not satisfied until the survivors are satisfied.' Congressman Thomas Massie, representing Kentucky, told the Newsnight programme: 'Men need to be perp-walked in handcuffs to the jail, and until we see that here in this country... we don't have a system of justice that's working.' Massie has criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the number of files that it redacted or withheld after it complied with a law - co-written by Massie - to release all its material. DOJ officials claim they have released all files except for those exempt under law but Massie believes some redactions were improper. He pointed to the contrast with the U.K., where arrests are occurring related to the case. Specifically, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Peter Mandelson were arrested in the U.K. regarding their links to Epstein, though both were later released under investigation. Massie argues that the U.S. must do better and suggested that the DOJ should share unredacted files with the Metropolitan Police in London. During the interview, survivors of Epstein's abuse shared harrowing stories, highlighting the power imbalance they faced. 'When you see how young they were, you realize the asymmetry of the power there,' Massie commented.
