Former Congressman Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, has accused billionaire philanthropist Leon Black and illusionist David Copperfield of being co-conspirators with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Massie made the allegations on the House floor, urging the Department of Justice to initiate an immediate investigation into the alleged crime ring.
The Kentucky Republican named several other associates of Epstein, describing them as "perpetrators" of the sex trafficking crimes. Massie's comments come nearly a year after President Trump signed the Epstein Transparency Act, which led to the release of millions of documents related to Epstein, known as "Epstein files." However, Massie pointed out that many more files remain undisclosed. Further reporting by Anna Betts.
