It is understandable why so many libertarians have wanted to release the Epstein files and why the two members of Congress who led the charge have considerable right/left libertarian tendencies: Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D–Calif.). Libertarians rightly distrust the federal government and reasonably fear that federal authorities may have covered up Jeffrey Epstein's crimes in order to conceal the involvement of political leaders in both major parties. If you're someone who thinks Democrats and Republicans are corrupt and that both the Clintons and President Donald Trump may have something to hide, you are very likely some kind of libertarian.
From this perspective, the release of millions of pages of federal investigative documents, emails, videos, and photos relating to Epstein may seem like a vital act of government transparency and accountability.
