GOP lawmaker makes blockbuster claim: FBI has at least 20 names of suspected Epstein clients
A Republican lawmaker revealed for the first time Wednesday that there is a quasi-list of suspected clients of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that can be compiled from a series of witness statements and other evidence gathered by the FBI.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the House Judiciary Committee that he thinks the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.
Massie’s statement comes as FBI Director Kash Patel testified under oath before Congress over two days of contentious hearings, during which he continued to insist that there is no “client list” and no credible evidence that Epstein trafficked underage girls to anyone other than himself.
But Massie cited files used by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York which summarize interviews with witnesses and suspects.
The lawmaker claimed those files include “one Hollywood producer worth a few 100 million dollars, one royal prince, one high-profile individual in the music industry, one very prominent banker, one high profile government official, one high profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rock star, one magician, at least six billionaires, including a billionaire from Canada. We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control.”

No public court documents directly accuse Staley of sexual assaulting minors or trafficking, but U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuits against JPMorgan alleged Staley engaged in “sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein.” Staley and his lawyers have consistently denied all allegations of sexual misconduct and knowledge of trafficking.
No Known Criminal Charges: As of 2025, Staley has not faced criminal charges related to Epstein, but his regulatory and legal troubles are ongoing, including a ban from holding senior roles in UK financial services and multimillion-pound fines
That's enough to stipulate that there's reason to think he would belong on The List, per the common parlance. Thanks for pointing out my inaccuracy
Less than 24 hours after that release, Epstein killed himself in jail (or whatever happened).
If that's correct, this is not blockbuster news, as we've known of her list for 6 years. In fact we have many of the names on said list already. Prince Andrew. George Mitchell. Bill Richardson, Jean-Luc Brunel, Marvin Minsky, Glen Dubin, and Dershowitz (she later retracted this claim). However, its also been long known that many more people are referred to in general terms only, like how Massie refers to them here.
One should also note: Massie does not claim to know who they actually are himself. I think it's possible these are the only descriptions VG's lawyers gave to the court (this was a civil case against Maxwell, not criminal against the men involved), which could mean the FBI in fact doesn't know who all these people supposedly are any more than Massie does.
Or maybe it really is "blockbuster news" and this is new information. Hard to be sure 
And also ridiculous that I have to resort to guessing games on this.
