Names Hit the Floor: Massie Calls Out Three Alleged Epstein Perpetrators for Congressional Record
U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie has done what few in Washington have been willing to do. HE NAMED SUSPECTED EPSTEIN PERPETRATORS on the House Floor. He has put specific names on the record—Leon Black, Jes Staley, and Les Wexner—arguing that the volume of allegations, financial entanglements, and documented proximity to Jeffrey Epstein demand far more scrutiny than they have received to date.
Investigative journalist Nick Bryant is uniquely positioned to unpack what may become the most consequential moment yet in the long-running Epstein scandal: a sitting member of Congress going to the House floor and publicly naming individuals he believes warrant far deeper investigation.
- Leon Black: American Billionaire, co-founder of Apollo Global Management. Allegedly committed VIOLENT sexual abuse against minors. Accused of violently raping a girl with Down’s Syndrome.
- Jes Staley: CEO of Barclays and long career at J.P. Morgan. Accused of violently raping a young girl he named “Tinkerbell” to the point of causing her to bleed.
- Les Wexner: Billionaire and CEO of Victoria’s Secret. Identified as a co-conspirator in sex trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein. Gave power of attorney for his entire estate to Epstein. Virginia Giuffre said she was trafficked to Wexner for sex multiple times.
Bryant is an expert on Epstein whose name appears in Epstein emails because of how problematic he was for the sex trafficker. He is also the author of The Franklin Scandal: a Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal Bryant has referred to the Franklin Scandal as a “Carbon Copy” of the Epstein scandal.
The smoke around these men is thick. Alleged victims of Epstein have accused powerful associates of violent sexual abuse, rape, and exploitation. While allegations are not convictions, Bryant has spent years documenting how wealth, influence, and institutional silence have repeatedly stalled accountability in this case. Massie’s move suggests that patience inside Congress may finally be wearing thin.
At the same time, a striking contradiction has emerged from the highest levels of federal law enforcement. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have publicly stated that they have no evidence Epstein trafficked girls to anyone—statements that directly clash with sworn victim testimony, civil filings, and years of investigative reporting.
Massie appears ready to begin with these three names and follow the evidence wherever it leads. The question is no longer whether there are unanswered questions—but why the Department of Justice and the FBI appear unwilling to address them publicly. As Pam Bondi, Blanche, and Patel remain silent, critics argue that the perception of compromise or institutional self-protection grows stronger by the day.
Nick Bryant can bring clarity where official statements have created confusion. He can explain why Massie’s actions matter, what separates rumor from substantiated allegation, and how power has historically shielded Epstein’s network from full exposure. This is not about partisan politics—it’s about whether the justice system applies equally when names, money, and influence are involved.

- How credible is the claim by senior DOJ and FBI leadership that there is “no evidence” Epstein trafficked girls to anyone, given sworn victim statements and civil litigation?
- What message does prolonged silence from the Justice Department and FBI send to victims, the public, and potential witnesses?
- Is Massie testing the system to see whether accountability still exists, or exposing how deeply compromised it may already be?
- Historically, how have wealth, political influence, and institutional self-protection derailed investigations like this before?
- If Congress keeps pressing and the DOJ does not respond, what are the realistic next steps—and what would genuine accountability actually look like?
ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and director of www.EpsteinJustice.com He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally. I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity.
In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
