Who are Epstein-linked ‘perpetrators’? US lawmaker names names

Representative Thomas Massie is campaigning for the full release of files related to the late financier and sex-trafficker to the global elite A US lawmaker listed the names of prominent Jeffrey Epstein-linked figures in an extraordinary attempt to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to fully release government materials on the millionaire who provided sex services to the global elite.

Representative Thomas Massie believes the administration of US President Donald Trump is covering up for Epstein’s associates and is seeking to pass an amendment to strengthen the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law a year ago.

In brief remarks on the House floor on Monday, which Massie later shared on X, he accused the government of continuing to withhold more than 3 million files.

“We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted,” Massie said, before naming known Epstein associates.

“Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice.” On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted.
