Massie Names 14 Alleged Epstein 'Co-Conspirators' on House Floor, Including Prince Andrew, David Copperfield

Rep. Thomas Massie used a House floor speech to name 14 people he described as Jeffrey Epstein 'co-conspirators,' while launching a new push to force the release of more Epstein-related files.

Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said Monday night that the people he named should be investigated and prosecuted over alleged links to Epstein's sex-trafficking network.

'On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted,' Massie wrote on X after the speech, according to reports.

The names he read included Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frédéric Fekkai, Edoardo Teodorani, Jean-Luc Brunel, Daniel Siad, Ramsey Elkholy, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, and Lesley Groff.

Massie's statements are allegations made by a member of Congress, not findings by a court. Being named by Massie or appearing in Epstein-related records does not establish criminal wrongdoing, and several of the people he named have not been charged with Epstein-related crimes.

Prince Andrew and Wexner Named

Among the most recognisable names was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, who has long denied allegations of sexual abuse made by Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre alleged that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to Andrew. He denied wrongdoing and settled her civil lawsuit in 2022 without admitting liability.

Massie also named Les Wexner, the billionaire retail mogul who once employed Epstein as a financial manager. Wexner denied firsthand knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity during a February deposition with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, according to earlier reports.

Jean-Luc Brunel, another name read by Massie, died in a French jail in 2022 while awaiting trial on sexual assault charges.

New Push for Epstein Files

Massie's speech came as he began collecting signatures for a discharge petition aimed at forcing a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.

The proposal, introduced in July as H.R. 9694, is backed in the House by Massie, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California and Democratic Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico. Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

The bill would give Epstein victims, state attorneys general and members of Congress standing to sue the Justice Department over alleged failures to comply with the disclosure requirements of the original Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Massie said the measure is meant to bring 'accountability to the Department of Justice and closure for survivors'.

DOJ Says It Released Nearly 3.5 Million Pages

The fight follows the first Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Donald Trump signed on 19 November 2025. The Justice Department said in January that it had released nearly 3.5 million pages in compliance with the law, along with more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

DOJ said unreleased material included duplicate documents, privileged records, material covered by statutory exceptions and records unrelated to the relevant cases, while redactions were also made to protect victims and their families.

To force a vote, Massie must gather 218 House signatures. That same tactic helped advance the original Epstein transparency bill last year, turning pressure over the files into a rare bipartisan flashpoint.

The latest speech raises the stakes further. By publicly naming people he described as Epstein co-conspirators, Massie turned the records fight into a direct demand for renewed investigation and potential prosecution.
