Republican Sen. Thomas Massie accused Donald Trump’s administration of suppressing Epstein records to shield GOP megadonors he alleges are in the files.
As pro-Trump money floods Kentucky to unseat him, Massie named financier John Paulson as being “in Epstein’s black book,” using an interview on Newsmax to allege a broader effort to keep high-rollers from embarrassment.
Massie said he was only saying Paulson’s name is in the files, not that he had committed any crime.
The Epstein files are the heart of a MAGA conspiracy that Jeffrey Epstein was killed, despite all official probes showing he died by suicide, to protect high-profile accomplices. Efforts by the Trump administration to delay or stop the release of files have now angered his base.
