WATCH: Massie names 14 Epstein associates to 'shame' DOJ

Key Points:

• Rep. Thomas Massie named over a dozen associates of Jeffrey Epstein on the House floor, accusing them of aiding Epstein's sex trafficking crimes, including Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, and former Prince Andrew.
• Massie criticized the Department of Justice for withholding more than 3 million files related to Epstein despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated the release of millions of documents.
• He accused Epstein's former assistant Lesley Groff of conspiring with Epstein rather than being a victim, and emphasized that those named have appeared in DOJ documents but inclusion does not necessarily imply guilt.
• Massie launched a discharge petition for a second Epstein Files Transparency Act to expand access to files for state courts and survivors, seeking 218 signatures to force a House vote and expressing confidence in reaching the threshold after the midterms.
• The move aims to increase transparency and pressure the DOJ to fully release Epstein-related documents, addressing ongoing concerns about redactions and incomplete disclosures.
