Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is warning that the American people would be “shocked” by the powerful names still being redacted in documents tied to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking Wednesday after reviewing unredacted files at a Department of Justice reading room, Mace suggested the scope of those referenced in the records spans both political parties and the upper echelons of power.
“You would be shocked, Piers, at some of the names that I have seen that came across the DOJ in emails that the DOJ is protecting,” Mace said during an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
“And we’re talking about people on both sides of the aisle,” she said. “We’re talking about famous people, rich people, people in power, prime ministers, former prime ministers, former presidents, et cetera, media personalities that are named in these files.”
The Jan. 30 public release of Epstein-related files included redactions, prompting bipartisan calls for transparency. Lawmakers were later permitted to review unredacted materials at the DOJ.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said on the House floor Tuesday that he shared the names of six men he believes were “likely incriminated” in the Epstein files, further intensifying scrutiny of the department.
