Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie said he would release more high-profile names from the Jeffrey Epstein files in the months before his term ends. He accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of withholding key evidence and claimed federal authorities are concealing the network’s scale. Massie said victims’ lawyers have not received their own 302 forms and that files have been over-redacted. He stated he previously released names of investor Leon Black, former banking CEO Jes Staley, and businessman Leslie Wexner. Massie said convictions are unlikely under current Justice Department leadership, alleging perjury by Blanche and FBI director Kash Patel. He also claimed First Lady Melania Trump does not believe Epstein acted alone and vowed to keep pushing for disclosures under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
"Yes, Massie replied. He continued: Todd Blanche is violating the law. There's still millions of files they haven't released. We know from talking to the victims' lawyers that their own 302 forms haven't been released. We know that files have been over-redacted. I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. Those names were investor Leon Black, former banking CEO Jes Staley, and businessman Leslie Wexner."
"Massie, who was instrumental to the files' release and lost his House primary last week to a Trump-endorsed rival, said he did not think it's possible to get to convictions under the current Justice Department leadership. I don't think it's possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director, Kash Patel, at the top, because they have effectively both perjured themselves by saying there's nobody else in the files, he said."
"The congressman then drew First Lady Melania Trump into the controversy, claiming: Even Melania doesn't believe that. The first lady knows that Jeffrey Epstein didn't act alone. Massie vowed to continue pushing for disclosures under the Epstein Files Transparency Act regardless of whether he is in Congress. So, if we can't get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next ones who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individua"
