US Congressman Calls for Investigation of Alleged Epstein Co-Conspirators


(MENAFN) US Rep. Thomas Massie calls on authorities to investigate and prosecute individuals allegedly connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network, while also advancing legislation aimed at increasing government transparency over investigative records.

“I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted,” Massie wrote on social media after addressing the House of Representatives.

The Kentucky Republican names several prominent figures, including Prince Andrew, Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frederic Fekkai, Edoardo Teodorani-Fabbri, and Ramsey Elkholy.

Massie also accuses Lesley Groff of conspiring to traffic women and mentions Jean-Luc Brunel and Daniel Siad, both of whom are deceased.

“Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice,” Massie said, criticizing the government over its decision to withhold more than 3 million investigative files.

Massie joins a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna, in launching a discharge petition intended to bypass committee procedures and bring the Epstein Files Transparency Act II directly to the House floor.

The procedure requires 218 signatures before a vote can be forced. The proposed legislation seeks to address remaining gaps in the disclosure of Epstein-related records after the Justice Department says the release process is complete in early 2026.

Although roughly 3.5 million pages have been released, significant portions remain redacted, prompting renewed calls from lawmakers for greater transparency and public access to the records.
