Rep. Thomas Massie named alleged Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor amid his launch of a major push for the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has continuously pushed for the release of files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over the last several years, and now he’s making an even bigger push with the launch of a signature drive for the “Epstein Files Transparency Act II.” On the House floor on Monday, Massie read off more than a dozen names of individuals he said were “Epstein co-conspirators” that warranted investigation.
“On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein co-conspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted,” Massie wrote on social media on Monday night. “I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II.”
According to Massie, the second Epstein Files Transparency Act will provide state attorneys general “access to Epstein files required to prosecute perpetrators under state law” and “make it easier for survivors to sue to get their files.”
“It’s been a year since the president signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the government continues to withhold over three million files,” Massie said on the House floor. “That’s why we’ve introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, to bring the fight to the state courts, accountability to the Department of Justice, and closure for survivors.”
“We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted, men like Jes Staley; Leon Black; Les Wexner; David Copperfield; Lapo Elkann; Tom Pritzker; Glenn Dubin; Frederic Fekkai; Eduardo Teodorani; Jean-Luc Brunel, conveniently dead by suicide in prison; Daniel Siad, recently discovered dead in Paris; Ramsey Elkholy; and Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United States, too; and women like Lesley Groff, not a victim, who conspired with Epstein to traffic other women,” Massie stated.
“Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, was accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Guiffre, who alleged that the abuse occurred after Epstein had trafficked her. The disgraced royal denied ever having met Giuffre.
Billionaire retail mogul Les Wexner also denied prior knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity during a deposition with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Digital Music News previously reported on talent scout and musician Ramsey Elkholy’s alleged ties to Epstein and was subsequently threatened with litigation.
Notably, Massie’s statements are allegations by a member of Congress and not legal criminal findings. Many of the names mentioned have not been charged with an Epstein-related crime, and appearing in Epstein records or in association with him does not prove participation in criminal conduct. However, some of the names have previously popped up in federal investigative records, including Wexner, Brunel, and Groff.
Under the legislation proposed by Massie, enforcement provisions would be added to the original Epstein Files Transparency Act, which became law in November 2025. Epstein victims, state attorneys general, district attorneys, and other authorized state and federal officials could sue the U.S. attorney general over records they argue were unlawfully withheld, delayed, redacted, concealed, or otherwise left unpublished.
Victims could also seek full federal records concerning themselves and the crimes against them, while identifying information about other victims would remain protected. State and local prosecutors could seek unredacted records needed for criminal investigations or court proceedings. Members of Congress could request full, unredacted access to covered records, and lawmakers could challenge the Department of Justice in court if it failed to meet the requirements of the law.
Massie and supporters of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II claim the Justice Department has withheld millions of Epstein-related records and maintained redactions they say violate the original transparency law. Meanwhile, the Justice Department says it complied with the law by publishing nearly 3.5 million pages, over 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images, claiming that any material withheld from the public included duplicate records, privileged information, statutory exceptions, and material unrelated to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.
