In a Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, outgoing Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) threatened to expose more high-profile figures named in what he describes as “over-redacted” Jeffrey Epstein documents before his term in Congress concludes.
The Kentucky Republican directly accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of withholding critical evidence tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, alleging that federal authorities are actively covering up the true scale of the network.
When anchor Kristen Welker noted Massie’s past actions and asked, “Can we expect you to name more names in the coming weeks and months?”, Massie responded simply, “Yes.”
Massie, who lost his House primary last week to a Trump-endorsed opponent, has been a central figure in pushing for the disclosure of the documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He has already publicly identified three billionaires he connects to the files: investor Leon Black, former banking CEO Jes Staley, and businessman Leslie Wexner.

During the interview, Massie expressed a total lack of confidence in current federal law enforcement, stating that he does not “think it’s possible to get to convictions” under the present leadership.
“I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director, Kash Patel, at the top, because they have effectively both perjured themselves by saying there’s nobody else in the files,” Massie said.
He further claimed that dissatisfaction with the investigation reaches into the highest levels of political life, invoking First Lady Melania Trump.
“Even Melania doesn’t believe that,” Massie said. “The first lady knows that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t act alone.”
“Todd Blanche is violating the law,” Massie continued. “There’s still millions of files they haven’t released. We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know that files have been over-redacted. I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this.”
Massie emphasized that his efforts to force disclosures will continue regardless of his upcoming departure from office, pointing to the legal obligations of future administrations.
“So, if we can’t get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next ones who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individuals are not releasing now,” Massie said.
