U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has been relentlessly pushing for the Trump administration to release the complete Epstein Files, is amplifying this week’s The New York Times investigative report titled, ‘How Epstein Helped Solve a Billionaire’s Problems with Women.’
David Enrich, one of the reporters who co-wrote the article, wrote of the billionaire: “Leon Black has said he paid Jeffrey Epstein $170M for tax and estate planning. But a NYT investigation found that Epstein provided a range of other services as well, including helping Black obscure millions of dollars in payments to women.”
With a gift link to the article, Massie added: “The Epstein Files are an encyclopedia of criminal activity committed by billionaires and politicians across the globe.”

Massie’s House colleague Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) suggested on social media that “a foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and @howardlutnick, would be for @AGPamBondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.”
Lieu cited a recent Reuters report about a foreign hacker who, in 2023, accessed a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI’s New York Field Office and allegedly compromised files related to the FBI’s investigation of Epstein.

And earlier this month, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) delivered a 48-minute speech on the Senate floor laying out a timeline of documented connections between President Donald Trump, Epstein, and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Whitehouse said: “It doesn’t make sense that the President of the United States, who insists – insists – on being dominant in essentially every relationship, is so submissive to one person, and that one person is Russia’s dictator, Vladimir Putin.” He added, “So, what is it about Trump and Russia? And could it have something to do with Trump’s close friendship with deceased pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein?”
