Overview

  • Representative Thomas Massie posted on X telling Denmark to say the Epstein files are in Greenland, a joke that drew heavy engagement on January 15.
  • As of late afternoon, the post had roughly 920,000 views, about 64,000 likes, and nearly 2,000 replies, according to platform metrics reported by Newsweek.
  • Congress last month passed the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, with Massie and Representative Ro Khanna pressing for broad public disclosure of investigative records.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said DOJ and FBI lawyers are reviewing materials around the clock, with victim-protective redactions underway and more releases expected.
  • Greenland remains a security focus as President Trump touts its strategic value, Denmark rejects any sale, and NATO partners including Germany, Sweden, Canada, and the Netherlands conduct joint exercises there.
