Massie amplified the message by reposting Khanna’s video, blasting the DOJ for what he described as a release that “grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law that @realDonaldTrump signed just 30 days ago.”
Khanna later expanded on those remarks during an appearance on CNN, confirming that impeachment language is already being prepared. He stated that Massie and he are “drafting Articles of Impeachment and inherent contempt” against Bondi, while stressing that no final decision has been made on whether to formally introduce them.
According to Khanna, the political calculus goes beyond party-line support. “The issue for her is not are there going to be 212 Democrats who would support it,” he said. “The issue for her is how many Republicans and MAGA supporters would support it?”
That sentiment underscores the unusual dynamic at play. Rather than a purely partisan attack, Khanna suggested that backlash from Trump supporters and Epstein survivors could prove more damaging than Democratic opposition alone. He noted that early reactions online show significant anger among MAGA voters who expected a far more transparent release.
CNN host Kaitlan Collins pressed Khanna on whether impeachment would move forward if the DOJ continues to withhold documents, noting that some Democrats—including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—have called for Bondi’s resignation.
Khanna responded bluntly: “Thomas Massie and I talked about it. He’s working, as am I, on drafting Articles of Impeachment and inherent contempt. We haven’t decided whether to move it forward yet, but we’re in the process of doing it.”
He went on to argue that Bondi’s real vulnerability lies within her own base. “The problem that the Attorney General has, if you just look at the comments to her social media feed, is the amount of MAGA, MAGA influencers, who are upset with her,” Khanna said, again emphasizing that Republican defections could determine her fate.
Khanna framed the standoff as a warning shot rather than a political stunt. He expressed hope that public outrage would pressure the DOJ into fully releasing the Epstein records within weeks, cautioning that Bondi “may lose more Republicans in the House than she anticipates” if transparency is not delivered.
During the interview, Khanna also referenced criticism from GOP strategist Susan Wiles, saying, “Susan Wiles said she whiffed. This isn’t building more trust.” He contrasted that disappointment with earlier optimism surrounding comments from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who had suggested hundreds of thousands of documents would be released.
Khanna admitted he was initially willing to give the DOJ leeway. “I said, as long as they comply with the spirit of the law, I’m fine,” he explained. “But this was in no way complying with the spirit of the law.”
In closing, Khanna described the reaction from both lawmakers and survivors as one of deep frustration. Rather than celebrating a breakthrough for transparency, he said, “Massey and I wanted to cheer for actually having released things that helped the survivors, and we were just devastated.”
As pressure mounts, the DOJ now faces a rare bipartisan revolt—one that could escalate into impeachment proceedings if the Epstein files remain locked behind redactions. Whether Bondi changes course or digs in may determine not only her political future, but whether Washington finally delivers the transparency Americans were promised.
