GOP Rep. Thomas Massie Says FBI Has Names of at Least 20 Suspected Epstein Clients

Republican lawmaker Thomas Massie alleges FBI holds names of at least 20 suspected Epstein clients from diverse elite sectors, challenging FBI Director Kash Patel's denial of such a list.

  • On September 17, 2025, Rep. Thomas Massie stated before the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI possesses the names of at least 20 individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
  • This assertion contradicts FBI Director Kash Patel’s sworn statements denying the existence of any roster of clients or verifiable proof that Epstein was involved in trafficking underage girls to individuals beyond himself.
  • The controversy stems from the 2008 federal immunity deal granted to Epstein by former Miami prosecutor Alexander Acosta, which Patel called the 'Original Sin' and which hampered prosecution efforts.
  • A 2020 Justice Department investigation concluded that Acosta used poor judgment in approving the lenient plea deal that gave Epstein and associates immunity from federal charges.
  • Acosta is scheduled to testify in closed-door House Oversight Committee hearings on September 19, 2025, amid ongoing scrutiny of his role in Epstein's case and the immunity deal.
