He's in Epstein's Black Book': Thomas Massie Lays Into Major Donor to the Republican Party'

"You said today that high-level donors and other figures from both parties are being protected by the government because they are in that world, they're so powerful, they have such deep connections to the government in both parties. Let's start there. If you know that, and you said that today at the news conference, can we start and ask if you can give us some of these names that we all want to hear?"

"His name is John Paulson. He's a hedge fund manager and a major donor to the Republican Party, a major donor to the speaker of the House, a major donor to the president's campaign, and he's in Epstein's black book. Now, that's public, but that's indicative of the types of people who may be implicated or just embarrassed by a release, a complete release of these files."

Representative Thomas Massie accused the government of covering up Epstein-related documents to shield high-level donors and figures from both parties. Massie named hedge fund manager and major Republican donor John Paulson, saying Paulson spent $2 million on ads in Massie's district and appears in Epstein's black book. Massie said protecting donors motivates the refusal to release complete files.

Massie identified three billionaires—John Paulson, Paul Singer, Miriam Adelson—funding a Kentucky-focused super PAC targeting him.
