DOJ Officials Claim Thomas Massie Just Made an Unbelievable Error

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna may have gotten themselves into hot water after falsely accusing four men of being tied to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein in front of Congress.

The pair claimed that four names, which the Department of Justice redacted in the release of the files, were “powerful men” engaged in connected to Epstein, but those men were simply randomly selected for a police line up and had zero real connection to the case.

Massive and Khanna claim that the fault in the false accusations lies with Department of Justice officials, stating that the DOJ “illegally redacted names without explanation and then refused to give context for the names once they redacted.”

Here’s Something the Media Is Trying to Keep Quiet About Goldman Sachs’ Top Attorney Who Just Resigned

Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs’ top attorney, is leaving due to her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late New York financier and convicted child predator, who was found dead in his cell in August 2019. Numerous files and communications related to this man have been released. This development is unwelcome, especially to Democrats, who were hoping to find incriminating evidence to use against Donald Trump. However, these emails have mostly cast Democrats and their allies in a negative light, with Ruemmler being the latest example.   

She’s not just a top Goldman attorney; she was Obama’s White House counsel, something that the media is either ignoring or whispering at the last moment. The narrative defending Ms. Ruemmler was that her relationship with Epstein was professional. The new text and emails suggested something else.

Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned on Thursday in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of emails and other material that revealed her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier. 

Ms. Ruemmler and representatives for Goldman said for years that she had a strictly professional relationship with Mr. Epstein, a convicted sex offender. But emails, text messages and photographs released late last month upended that narrative, leading to Ms. Ruemmler’s sudden resignation, which surprised many at the firm. 

Before joining Goldman in 2020, Ms. Ruemmler was a counselor, confidante and friend to Mr. Epstein, the documents showed. She advised him on how to respond to tough questions about his sex crimes, discussed her dating life, advised him on how to avoid unflattering media scrutiny and addressed him as “sweetie” and “Uncle Jeffrey.” 

Mr. Epstein, in turn, provided career advice on her move to Goldman, introduced her to well-known businesspeople and showered her with gifts of spa treatments, high-end travel and Hermès luxury items. In total, Ms. Ruemmler was mentioned in more than 10,000 of the documents released by the Justice Department.

‘He was Created… He’s Not Organic’ — Rep. Tim Burchett Claims Barack Obama Was ‘Created by the Deep State’ — Alleges Jeffrey Epstein Operated Freely During Obama Years

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett just went there.

In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) didn’t hold back, tearing into Barack Obama’s sudden political rise and his administration’s alarming proximity to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

While the mainstream media continues to run cover for the Democrat elite, Burchett is asking the questions they refuse to touch: How did Jeffrey Epstein operate so freely while Obama was in the White House?

The conversation kicked off with breaking news regarding Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama’s former White House Counsel, who recently resigned from Goldman Sachs.

Ruemmler’s name has surfaced repeatedly in connection to Epstein, raising serious questions about the access the disgraced financier had to the highest levels of the Obama administration.

Andrew ‘flew girl to UK on Epstein’s Lolita jet and took her to Buckingham Palace’: Pressure mounts to launch sex trafficking probe into ex-prince over 90 flights carrying girls from around the world

Police are today being urged to launch a sex trafficking probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor amid claims a woman was flown in on Jeffrey Epstein‘s ‘Lolita Express’ and smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename ‘Mrs Windsor’.

The paedophile’s Boeing 727–100 private jet, which he used to host orgies and traffic girls, landed around 90 times in the UK – including after his conviction for child sex offences in 2008, the Epstein Files reveal. 

Stansted, Britain’s fourth busiest airport, was allegedly used as a hub to transfer victims from one Epstein plane to another. 

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’ and urged Scotland Yard to begin a criminal investigation into the former Duke of York beyond misconduct in public office and breach of the Official Secrets Act.

‘The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights’, he said.

Today it was claimed that least one Epstein victim was flown into Britain on board and then taken to Andrew at Buckingham Palace. 

The disgraced former Duke of York allegedly told aides: ‘Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up’.

Sources have claimed that other women would be whisked in to see him at his late mother and father’s London home using the same coded requests and with no security clearance.

Nancy Mace Demands Pam Bondi Appear Before Congress for Monitoring Lawmakers’ Epstein Files Searches

Lawmakers are not yet finished with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) led a new charge on Friday morning, demanding Bondi testify before the House Oversight Committee while raising concern about Bondi’s appearance before the House Judiciary panel on Wednesday.

During the hearing, a photographer captured an image of Bondi with a document appearing to show Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-WA) searches on the Epstein Files — which she and other members of Congress were given access to two days earlier.

“In the Judiciary Committee, she had a folder open, and you saw an image of a search history of a member of Congress in the software in the database,” Mace said in an interview making the rounds on Friday morning. “Why is the DOJ — why is the attorney general carrying around a folder of the search histories of members of Congress who only simply want the truth? She should answer for that, and I think she should come before the Oversight Committee, because I have a lot of tough questions.”

Key Architect of ‘Disinformation Dozen’ List Resigns After ‘Epstein Files’ Reveal Tangled Web of Censorship

The 2021 publication of “The Disinformation Dozen” list of 12 “leading online anti-vaxxers” sparked efforts to discredit U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sayer Ji and other outspoken critics of COVID-19 pandemic policies and vaccines.

Five years later, the release of the “Epstein Files” has led to the resignation of one of the list’s architects — Morgan McSweeney.

McSweeney, chief of staff to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, resigned Sunday. In 2018, he co-founded what later became known as the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which published the “Disinformation Dozen” list.

McSweeney’s resignation stemmed from his prior support for Peter Mandelson, former U.K. ambassador to the U.S.

Mandelson is implicated in the Epstein Files for his close ties to disgraced financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. McSweeney had advised Starmer to appoint Mandelson to his ambassadorial post.

Starmer removed Mandelson from his post in September 2025, after emails between Mandelson and Epstein were made public. In the emails, Mandelson suggested that Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child prostitute was wrongful and should be overturned.

The Epstein Files also showed that Mandelson shared sensitive government information with Epstein. The U.K. Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation of Mandelson, while Starmer apologized to Epstein’s sex-trafficking victims.

In his resignation letter, McSweeney took “full responsibility” for advising Starmer to appoint Mandelson.

But Ji, listed as one of the “Disinformation Dozen,” told The Defender McSweeney’s resignation shows that “the architecture behind a decade of political censorship is coming into view.”

“The same political culture that normalized backroom routing of power, deniability, and proxy enforcement is the culture that produced CCDH — and shielded it from scrutiny while it reshaped public discourse on both sides of the Atlantic,” Ji wrote on Substack.

In its early years, CCDH targeted left-wing political figures and independent media outlets in the U.K. with claims of antisemitism. Later, it targeted “misinformation” and “disinformation” in the U.S.

The Biden administration and corporate media used the “Disinformation Dozen” list to discredit figures like Kennedy and Ji. Social media platforms deplatformed those included on the list.

Internal documents leaked in 2024 showed that CCDH sought to launch “Black Ops” against Kennedy and “kill Musk’s Twitter” — now known as X. “Black ops” refers to secret operations carried out by governments or other organizations that hide their involvement.

The Epstein Files don’t contain evidence indicating Epstein was involved in CCDH’s operations, Ji said. But they do reveal an “operational lineage” connecting Epstein to figures like Mandelson and McSweeney, revealing “the hidden origins of CCDH — and the elite networks now illuminated by the Epstein files.”

“The Epstein files help explain why censorship became so aggressive,” said Seamus Bruner, director of research at the Government Accountability Institute. “CCDH and similar entities functioned less as neutral watchdogs and more as enforcement mechanisms — protecting systems, not public discourse.”

Trump Defends Howard Lutnick’s Visit to Epstein Island – “I Wasn’t Aware of it… I Was Never There”

President Trump on Thursday said he was not aware that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick visited Epstein Island with his family in 2012, but defended the Secretary’s visit. 

According to emails, in December 2012, Lutnick was invited to the island with his wife and children, likely to discuss business dealings related to a company called Adfin.

“I actually haven’t spoken to him about it,” Trump told reporters after saying he “wasn’t aware of it.”

“But from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children, and I guess in some cases, some people were. I wasn’t. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that. I was never there.”

WATCH:

Reporter: Mr. President, were you aware that the Secretary of Commerce visited Epstein’s Island?

Trump: No, I wasn’t aware of it. No, I didn’t– I actually haven’t spoken to him about it. I wasn’t. But from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children, and I guess in some cases, some people were. I wasn’t. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that. I was never there.

Dr. Oz welcomed Epstein to Valentine’s Day bash after he served time as sex offender

President Donald Trump‘s hand-selected TV-host-turned-Medicaid-boss, Dr Mehmet Oz, has stunningly been named in the Jeffrey Epstein files as top officials’ links to the financier are exposed.

Oz, 65, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator, sent an email inviting Epstein to a Valentine’s Day party in 2016, according to a document recently published by the Department of Justice. 

The jumbled script of the email from Oz and his wife, Lisa, to Epstein seems to be an invitation from Paperless Post, a digital greeting card service. The event would be at Oz’s Palm Beach residence. 

It was one of several message exchanges with Epstein’s email from 2012 to 2016. 

The correspondence between the financier and the TV host and future CMS administrator came years after Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida, an infraction that would make him a registered sex offender. 

Epstein committed suicide on August 10, 2019, while in federal custody for sex trafficking, the government has claimed.

Another email on January 1, 2016, between Oz and Epstein is completely illegible due to encryption. 

Oz is one of several high-ranking Trump administration officials who have not just named in the file, but in communication with and in proximity of the late sex offender.

CANNIBALISM? Rep. Lauren Boebert Says Unredacted Epstein Files “Far Worse Than Imagined,” Raises Questions About Alleged Code Words and ‘Human Consumption’

In an interview on Newsmax, Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert warned that the long-concealed unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files are much darker than the public has ever been led to believe, suggesting they contain disturbing code words, references to “consumption,” and clues that might point to elite cannibalism and human meat trafficking.

Boebert, who joined a select group of lawmakers given access to pages of the newly opened files after the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, told host Rob Schmitt that what she saw went far beyond the established narrative of sex trafficking and abuse.

Boebert: This seems that it wasn’t only the trafficking of young girls, as the narrative suggests, but there are code words that suggest Jeffrey Epstein and his associates could maybe even be engaging in some consumption. Is that human consumption? Are there code words?

There’s a lot of talk of beef jerky. There’s a restaurant called The Cannibal, where the owner is listed in some of these documents. Now, that isn’t a restaurant that is claiming to serve human meat by any means, but some of this just seems like there are a lot of conspiracies that make you wonder.

Boebert noted that while a restaurant name alone isn’t proof of cannibalism, the contextual clustering of the terms, paired with discussions that appear to describe torture, raises alarming questions.

Boebert: I saw more emails about torture. These coded conversations still have a very clear topic — that torture was big. It was a big driver for them. And these were sick people doing very, very sick things.

As you mentioned, there are many women who are involved in this. You have folks who were working directly for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. And a lot of these women are the ones sending emails saying, “Here’s one, 10 years old, 11 years old, 9 years old.”

It’s just very disturbing to see the women who are involved in this.

Three unidentified names in Epstein files raise questions about hidden connections

Three names newly unredacted from the Jeffrey Epstein files remain shrouded in mystery, with no clear public record connecting them to the convicted sex offender or explaining how they fit into his network of powerful associates.

Leonic Leonov, Zurab Mikeladze, and Salvatore Nuara were among six men whose identities lawmakers forced the Department of Justice to reveal this week after a review of the files found their names had been improperly redacted. While two of the six—billionaire Leslie Wexner and Dubai executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem—are well-known figures with documented ties to Epstein, the other three have proven difficult to trace.

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie discovered the redacted names during a two-hour review of unredacted Epstein documents at the DOJ on Monday. After the lawmakers publicly identified them, the department partially unredacted the files where the names appeared.
