Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, after viewing unredacted Epstein files at the Department of Justice, claims the documents likely incriminate six additional men whose names are currently redacted in publicly available versions. Massie indicated he might reveal these names under congressional privilege if the DOJ continues to conceal them. The six individuals include at least one US citizen, a foreign government official, and other foreigners. Massie is the lead sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which compelled the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's activities. Democrats who also viewed the files accused the DOJ of unnecessary redactions, beyond those needed to protect victims' identities. The DOJ has stated its review of the Epstein case is over, despite complaints that millions of documents remain unreleased.
