Two House members, Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, said they discovered at least six more suspected accomplices of Jeffrey Epstein among the millions of records the Justice Department has allowed lawmakers to begin reviewing. The lawmakers said the names of these potential co-conspirators had previously been redacted in publicly released documents, raising concerns about the lack of transparency.

Why it matters

The discovery of additional suspected Epstein accomplices highlights the ongoing efforts by Congress to uncover the full extent of Epstein's alleged sex trafficking network and hold all responsible parties accountable. The redaction of these names has frustrated lawmakers and victims who are seeking justice.

The details

Reps. Massie and Khanna said they found the names of six men who were "likely incriminated" by their inclusion in the Epstein files, though the reasons for the previous redactions remain unclear. The lawmakers criticized the Justice Department for not fully complying with a law passed in November that directed the release of all Epstein-related documents without redactions.

  • On February 9, 2026, the Justice Department began allowing lawmakers to review millions of records related to the Epstein case.
  • On February 11, 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
  • On February 18, 2026, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has scheduled a deposition with Les Wexner, a former CEO of Victoria's Secret and a financial client of Epstein.
