US Rep. Thomas Massie's tongue-in-cheek remark about the location of Jeffrey Epstein's files has sent shockwaves online, further fueling tensions surrounding both the public release of the documents and President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland.
Massie quipped on social media that the Epstein files were hidden in Greenland, suggesting that if Denmark were to share the information with the US administration, "they'll lose all interest and will never be able to find it." His post has garnered over 920,000 views and sparked a heated online debate.
The remark highlights the growing tensions surrounding transparency in high-profile cases like Epstein's, as well as the strategic significance of the Arctic region to US national security interests. Massie is a vocal advocate for releasing the Epstein files, an issue that has received bipartisan support, including from his Democratic co-sponsor Representative Ro Khanna of California.
Meanwhile, Greenland has become a focal point in global politics, with Trump expressing interest in acquiring the island due to its strategic location and potential resources. NATO's recent military deployment to the region has been met with skepticism by some European leaders, who emphasize the need for cooperation and stability.
As the US and Denmark work together on joint military exercises, the future of transparency in high-profile cases like Epstein's remains uncertain. Critics argue that the government is withholding crucial information from the public, while supporters contend that certain redactions are necessary to protect victims.
The controversy surrounding the Epstein files serves as a reminder of the ongoing polarization in US politics, with some lawmakers calling out those who prioritize protecting pedophiles over survivors. The debate highlights the importance of finding a balance between transparency and national security concerns.
In the midst of this turmoil, Newsweek stands committed to delivering sharp and challenging journalism that pushes for ideas and facts over factional interests. Our mission is to create a center strong and vibrant, where we follow the truth without fear or favor.

... it's like he was trolling people, but at the same time, makes a point about how hard it would be for Denmark to keep those files under wraps 
. I think what really got everyone talking is that we're still waiting for answers in this Epstein case - it's been way too long since he passed away and no one knows all the details 
. The fact that Greenland is being mentioned as part of Trump's interest in acquiring the island just adds to the weirdness 
... I'm not sure if we should be worried about him trying to own a country or what 
. But honestly, who cares about Greenland when there are still so many unanswered questions about Epstein and his associates? 
and let's not forget Trump's interest in Greenland is about more than just resources, it's about politics. We need to keep pushing for transparency on this case and hold those in power accountable. 
Massie's comment was just a joke, but it shows how far we are from getting the truth out. And now Greenland is in the mix? It's like, WHO CARES ABOUT GREENLAND?! 
Let's focus on bringing justice to Epstein's victims and transparency to these files already!
. I mean, who needs that kind of transparency in high-profile cases? The US government knows what they're doing, right? 
. On the other hand, I'm totally down for some joint military exercises with Denmark – we need more of those! 
. think about it, if danish ppl share the ep files with us, trump just loses interest and never finds them? sounds like a master move to me! but at the same time, i get where the critics are coming from - some redactions are necessary for national security and victims' rights. we cant have our cake and eat it too, right? 
. we need to be having more nuanced discussions about how to balance transparency with protection, rather than just demonizing people like trump or massie. let's keep the facts straight and not get too carried away with partisanship 
. And now Massie's joke about the Epstein files being hidden there? That's just salt in the wound 
. Can't a guy get some transparency around here? 
. It's like they're playing hard to get 
. I just want to know what's going on, you know? Transparency is key in cases like Epstein's 
. We need a balance between security and the public's right to know 
. Newsweek's got it right, though - sharp journalism is just what we need in these trying times 
.
OMG, can't believe Rep Thomas Massie just dropped that EPIC Greenland troll 
... I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that he wants to acquire the island or the fact that some folks are okay with that. NATO's got a point about cooperation and stability, though - we need to be working together, not just trying to one-up each other. 
Wait, no, that's crazy thinking! 
️
gotta keep an eye on this one
like they're not even trying to hide it anymore. 
I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that some lawmakers are playing with fire on the Epstein files 
. It's like, can't we focus on finding those files and doing justice for the victims instead of fighting over who gets to decide what happens next? 
i mean who would've thought that the us government is hiding something in greenland? and let's be real, trump's interest in acquiring the island just sounds like a bad plot from a spy movie 
anyway, it's all about finding that balance between transparency and national security concerns. but honestly, shouldn't we just want to know the truth? 
. I'm all for transparency, especially when it comes to high-profile cases like Epstein's. We need more of these tough journalists holding people in power accountable 
. Let's focus on solving some real problems instead 
I guess Trump's interest in acquiring the island is definitely a strategic move, but it also raises some red flags about US involvement in the region. NATO's military deployment has got everyone on edge, and it's not just about Denmark or the US – what about the people who actually live there?
