Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) speaks to reporters outside the Capitol following a series of votes on June 3, 2026.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has been a key figure in a push to release files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the last few years, read off over a dozen names of what he said were “Epstein coconspirators” on Monday.

“On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted,” Massie said in a Monday night post on the social platform X.

“I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II,” he added.

Massie’s post included a clip of himself on the House floor, in which he said it had “been a year since the president signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” referencing legislation he spearheaded alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) last year that resulted in the release of some files linked to Epstein.

“And the government continues to withhold over three million files. That’s why we’ve introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, to bring the fight to the state courts, accountability to the Department of Justice and closure for survivors. We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted,” he added.

Massie then began to list off names, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, and billionaire retail mogul Les Wexner.

The former prince was accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre, who also alleged that the abuse occurred after Epstein trafficked her. Mountbatten-Windsor has denied that he ever met Giuffre.

In February, Wexner denied firsthand knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity during a deposition with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Wexner had employed Epstein as a financial manager in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Massie said in an earlier post on X Monday that the Epstein Files Transparency Act II “gives state [attorneys general] access to Epstein files required to prosecute perpetrators under state law, and makes it easier for survivors to sue to get their files.”
