The mysterious identities of six associates linked to Jeffrey Epstein could finally be made public thanks to the work of two bipartisan lawmakers.
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told reporters late Monday that six associates of Epstein were “likely incriminated” by their inclusion in massive files detailing the years-long investigation of the pedophile.
“We went in there for two hours,” said Massie.
“There’s millions of files, right? And in a couple of hours, we found six men whose names have been redacted, who are implicated in the way that the files are presented.”
Massie and Khanna, who co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act that forced the release of the documents late last year, did not name the men or specify what conduct they believed to be illegal.
However, they did say one suspect was “pretty high up” in a foreign government, while another was a prominent individual.
But will they take the names public?
According to reports, it’s possible that either Massie or Khanna could read the six names on the House floor and be protected from legal liability under the Constitution’s speech or debate clause.
However, Massie told reporters he would “give the DOJ a chance to go back through and correct their mistakes … They need to themselves check their own homework.”
“None of this is designed to be a witch hunt,” Khanna insisted.
“Just because someone may be in the files doesn’t mean that they’re guilty. But there are very powerful people who raped these underage girls — it wasn’t just Epstein and [his accomplaice Ghislaine] Maxwell — or showed up to the island or showed up to the ranch or showed up to the home knowing underage girls were being paraded around.”

However, it appears that the names will come out sooner rather than later after Massie later posted a document with a list of 20 names, with all but those of Epstein and Maxwell redacted.
“Four of the 18 redacted names on this document are men born before 1970,” he wrote on X.
“DOJ needs to explain why they are redacted unless they were just randoms in a line-up.”
.@RepRoKhanna and I just spent two hours at DOJ viewing the “mostly-unredacted” Epstein files.

However, DOJ officials responded indicating that all people involved were unredacted.
“The document you cite has numerous victim names,” responded Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“We have just unredacted all non-victim names from this document. The DOJ is committed to transparency.”
