Massie reiterated Khanna's statements.
"As Ro said, don't muck it up in the Senate. Don't get too cute," Massie warned the upper chamber. "We're all paying attention. If you want to add some additional protections for these survivors, go for it. But if you do anything that prevents any disclosure, you are not for the people, and you are not part of this effort. Do not muck it up in the Senate."
GOP lawmakers who spoke with Fox News Digital Monday evening said they would vote for the bill and were optimistic their colleagues would as well — though many of them said they still had concerns about how it was written.
It comes after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who had been against the bill but pushed parallel transparency efforts in Epstein’s case, said he hoped it would undergo material changes when it reached the Senate to give more protection for innocent people whose names may appear in the files against their wishes.
"These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight, and they did it by banding together and never giving up," Greene said Tuesday. "And that's what we did by fighting so hard against the most powerful people in the world, even the President of the United States, in order to make this vote happen today."

"How did we allow this to happen? There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying the perks of being affiliated with corporations or universities, or writing op-eds or being lionized. And many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated in our society. That's disgusting. There needs to be accountability," he also said.
