Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) dropped the hammer on several of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's alleged co-conspirators in a scorched-earth rant on Monday night. Massie took to the House floor and read the names of several alleged Epstein co-conspirators. The names included Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frédéric Fekkai, Eduardo Teodorani-Fabbri, Jean-Luc Brunel, Daniel Siad, Ramsey Elkholy, Prince Andrew, and Lesley Groff. Everyone Massie mentioned who has spoken publicly about their relationship with Epstein has denied any wrongdoing. Massie said he hoped the move would "shame the Department of Justice into releasing the names of more co-conspirators."This is the second time that Massie has exposed the names of some of Epstein's alleged co-conspirators. In February, Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) exposed three names: Leon Black, Jes Staley, and Les Wexner.It happened at a time when the Trump administration is trying to outrun the Epstein files saga, which has consumed much of the second Trump presidency. The Trump DOJ has claimed it won't release any more files, despite acknowledging that it holds more than 3 million unreleased records. On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted.I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II. pic.twitter.com/fgpebvxNpP— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) August 31, 2026
