A Republican MP accused U.S. president Donald Trump of trying to distract the public from Epstein's scandal by implicating the country in conflict with Iran.
Congressman Thomas Massie's comments came after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released millions of pages of files on the deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump's papers mention more than 5,000 times, though without any mention of criminal activity.
"Bombing a country across the globe will not make Epstein's file disappear" said Massie on Sunday on the X program.
In another entries, the congressman described American-Israeli attacks on Iran as "war acts unauthorized by Congress" And he objected to the conflict.
‘This is not “America primarily”’.
Massie, who has long criticized Trump for his ties to Epstein, is 1 of respective legislators who accused the president of the United States of utilizing abroad crises to distract attention from the scandal.
Massie and Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna were co-authors of the Transparency Act of Epstein, which required the Department of Justice to disclose all papers related to a convicted sex offender.
Trump signed the bill in November, under force from legislators and his supporters.
Last month, Massie and Khanna publically revealed the identity of the six men whose names were classified in the final tranche of the file.
Khanna wondered why disclosure of papers required intervention.
"Imagine how many men they hide in these 3 million acts" said in Congress.
U.S. Deputy lawyer General Todd Blanche objected to these allegations, accusing legislators of ‘showing off’ And claiming the Department of Justice has nothing to hide.
Massie's position ruined his relation with Trump.
In a January entry on the fact Social portal, the president of the United States named it "weak and pathetic"‘third category congressmen’ and supported his main rival, Ed Gallrein, in Kentucky's 4th constituency.
So far, the Department of Justice has not filed charges against anyone mentioned in Epstein's file.
