Thomas Massie Names 14 People He Says Should Be Investigated Over Epstein
The Republican listed the names as he launched a new effort to force the release of more government files related to Epstein.
Representative Thomas Massie named 14 individuals he claimed should be investigated due to their alleged connections with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, during a House speech. This comes a year after President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation he and California Democrat Ro Khanna introduced to compel the Department of Justice to release files on Epstein.
Massie stated that over three million files remain withheld, leading to the introduction of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to push for state court investigations, accountability in the DOJ, and closure for survivors. He listed 14 people, including Jes Staley, Leon Black, and Les Wexner, although he did not establish any of their guilt, as being named in Epstein files or associated with him does not imply criminal activity.
Several of these individuals have never been charged with any offenses related to Epstein and have denied wrongdoing. Massie's comments are protected by the Constitution's speech or debate clause.
