Jeffrey Epstein was associated with a current top foreign government official, lawmakers have revealed after viewing redacted files.
Representatives Thomas Massie, a Republican, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat, revealed during a Monday press conference that six men are likely incriminated in the files.
The bipartisan duo has spearheaded the release of the Epstein Files since last July and pushed for a vote on their Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was eventually signed into law by President Trump.
Despite the law, they are still fighting for transparency as the DOJ released more than 3 million Epstein files on January 30, but the majority of them were heavily redacted.
Massie, of Kentucky, told reporters the files included an individual who is ‘pretty high up in a foreign government’ and urged Donald Trump’s Justice Department to ‘correct their mistakes’.
One document posted by Massie contains 18 redactions, four of them being men born before 1970.
Monday marked the first time members of Congress could view the unredacted files by visiting a Department of Justice building in Northeast Washington, DC, in person and accessing them on the DOJ’s computers.
Representative Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, who also visited the DOJ office, said that the files contained several previously unreported young victims.
