Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY - It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election.
All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS.
There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.

Thomas A. Whitaker @WhitakerTA_ - Video: Nobody is telling you what actually happened in that hearing room.
Everyone is covering the bar tab joke. Nobody is explaining what Van Hollen walked in there to do.
Van Hollen's opening move was to ask the FBI Director if he had a drinking problem — on the record, in a budget hearing, in front of cameras.
That's not oversight. That's a political assassination attempt.
Here's the part everyone is missing:
Patel came prepared.
→ He had Van Hollen's FEC filing pulled up before the question was even finished
→ The filing showed a $7,128 bar tab at the Lobby Bar — December 2025 — 50 attendees
→ Patel turned around mid-hearing and offered to post it in real time
→ Van Hollen's defense was "it wasn't public money"
→ Which confirmed the bar tab existed
