Congress Names Epstein’s 'Filthy 14' (Part 2) (9/2/26)

For years, the Epstein story has been defined as much by the people who never seem to face meaningful scrutiny as by the two people who actually went to prison. That is why Thomas Massie’s decision to name fourteen alleged Epstein co-conspirators on the floor of Congress matters. The list includes Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Thomas Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Jean-Luc Brunel, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Lesley Groff and several figures tied to the modeling industry, all of whom intersect with Epstein through money, banking, social access, scheduling, introductions, testimony or allegations. Staley’s extensive relationship with Epstein, Black’s massive payments for financial advice, Wexner’s extraordinary decision to place sweeping financial authority in Epstein’s hands, and Groff’s years spent managing Epstein’s daily affairs all continue to raise questions about how much the people around him knew and why so many of those questions remain unresolved. Other names, including Copperfield, Pritzker, Dubin and Andrew, surface in testimony, investigative records or allegations that have kept pressure on authorities to explain what was investigated and what was not.What emerges is a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: highly sophisticated people repeatedly claim they saw very little, knew very little and understood even less while continuing to do business with Epstein, socialize with him or allegedly help bring women into his orbit. Those explanations become even harder to stomach after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, when his status as a sex offender was public and any continued relationship with him became a conscious choice. Massie’s list now puts fresh pressure on the Justice Department to stop treating these names like background noise and start confronting the money, communications, travel, introductions and testimony connected to each of them. The real question is not whether Epstein knew powerful people. Everyone already knows that. The question is why so many people deeply embedded in his life have spent years offering explanations while the government has offered so few answers.to contact me:[email protected]
