Massie Names 14 Alleged Epstein Co-Conspirators on House Floor

Published 2 September 2026

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, used a speech on the House floor on Monday, August 31, 2026, to publicly name 14 individuals he described as alleged co-conspirators in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, while simultaneously launching a new legislative push to force the release of additional federal files. The move escalates a years-long battle for transparency and accountability surrounding the late financier's network. During his address, Massie read a list of names that included prominent figures from finance, business, entertainment, and royalty. The individuals named were Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frédéric Fekkai, Edoardo Teodorani, Jean-Luc Brunel, Daniel Siad, Ramsey Elkholy, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), and Lesley Groff. Massie stated on social media that these individuals "should be investigated and prosecuted." It is important to note that being named by a lawmaker or appearing in documents does not establish criminal wrongdoing, and several of the people listed have previously denied any allegations of misconduct.
