  • What Happened: Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna found at least six men's names redacted in the Epstein files, including one who is "pretty high up" in a foreign government.
  • Why It Matters: The congressmen spent just two hours reviewing millions of files and discovered six men implicated who are being protected by redactions.
  • Bottom Line: Massie suggested more digging would reveal even more names being hidden from the public.

The Epstein files are hiding something big, and two congressmen just proved it.

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna spent just two hours reviewing millions of Epstein files and found at least six men whose names have been completely redacted. One of those men, according to Massie, is "pretty high up" in a foreign government.

"They need to do a little more homework," Massie said with a knowing smile. "There are six men. We went in there for two hours. There are millions of files. 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."

Let that sink in. Two congressmen found six hidden names in just two hours. How many more are buried in those millions of files? And why are they being protected?

The American people have been demanding transparency on the Epstein case for years. Jeffrey Epstein ran an international trafficking operation that implicated some of the most powerful people on the planet. He died in federal custody under suspicious circumstances before he could testify. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted and sent to prison. But the full list of his clients and associates has never been released.

Now we know why. Names are being scrubbed. Evidence is being hidden. And at least one foreign government official who was implicated is being shielded from public scrutiny.

Massie did not name the foreign official or the country involved, but the fact that he mentioned it at all is significant. This is not about protecting victims. This is about protecting powerful men who do not want their names associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

The bipartisan discovery by Massie and Khanna proves this goes deeper than anyone wants to admit. If two congressmen can find six redacted names in two hours, imagine what a full forensic review would uncover.

The Epstein files need to be declassified. Every single name needs to be released. And anyone involved in hiding evidence needs to be held accountable.
