Rep. Mike Thompson, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 4th district, posted a series of statements on social media addressing security in Washington, D.C., the ongoing debate over the release of the Epstein files, and criticism of RFK Jr.’s public health positions.
On September 3, 2025, Thompson commented on the visible presence of security forces in the capital, writing: “I’m back in Washington, D.C. and the National Guard are out in full force. They must be looking for the Epstein files!”
Later that day, he referenced legislative efforts related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein: “Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors deserve justice and transparency and so do the American people. I’ve signed onto the bipartisan petition to force Speaker Johnson to hold a vote on releasing the Epstein files in full. All we need are two more Republicans to join us to make it happen.”
On September 4, 2025, Thompson addressed controversy surrounding Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stating: “Thank you to the over 1,000 Health and Human Services employees who are calling out RFK Jr. for his dangerous health misinformation. He is endangering Americans’ health and it’s time he resigns.”
Thompson has served in Congress since 1999 after replacing Frank Riggs as representative for California’s 4th district. He was born in St Helena, California in 1951 and continues to reside there at age 72. Thompson earned his Bachelor of Arts from California State University, Chico in 1982.
