Image Credit: infowars composite Rep. Thomas Massie on Monday revealed some of the names of people redacted by the DOJ in relation to torture and child sex trafficking cases, after looking at unredacted versions of the Epstein files at the Justice Department.
Appearing on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Massie revealed former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner’s name had been inexplicably redacted, despite him being listed as a co-conspirator and not a victim.

Just an hour earlier, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had responded to Massie’s questions on X about redactions of Wexner’s name, explaining, “The document you cite has numerous victim names. We have just unredacted Les Wexner’s name from this document, but his name already appears in the files thousands of times. DOJ is hiding nothing.”

“That’s a problem, and I’m glad they’ve admitted they made a mistake by redacting that,” Massie told Collins.
After reviewing another email between Epstein and a redacted individual that stated, “I loved the torture video,” Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was identified as the recipient of the message, prompting the DOJ to “tacitly admit” he was the sender of the torture video, according to Rep. Massie, after Blanche replied to another post.
🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ

1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators
2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated
3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video
“This is significant,” Massie said, “because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers.”
🧵1) This is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBI’s own 2019 document listing Wexner as coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasn’t unredacted until tonight. https://t.co/l6gEDwFun5

🧵2) Here DOJ acts as if they were justified in redacting the men’s names simply because the document contains victims names. Tonight they learned you can redact victim names while still publishing the other names, per our law. https://t.co/uBytNWBidy

When Massie pointed out that the names of individuals who were not victims had been redacted, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded that redactions had been made to protect “personally identifiable information.”
🧵3) until tonight no one knew who sent the torture video to Epstein. I went to DOJ, unredacted the email, and reverse searched the email to discover it was a Sultans. Our law requires VICTIM’s information to be redacted, not information of men who sent Epstein torture porn! https://t.co/HwQUW2QZIQ

“Lex Wexner is co-conspirator of Epstein,” declared tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on X.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) had the million-dollar question:
If Les Wexner is listed by the DOJ/FBI as a “co-conspirator” in the Epstein files, why isn’t he in jail?

On Monday after reviewing the files, Massie told reporters he’d like to reveal other names that were on the House floor but that he wanted to give the DOJ a chance to correct the redactions.

On Tuesday, Rep. Massie showed that the DOJ had corrected some redactions.
Yesterday @RepRoKhanna and I found a list of names and photos in the Epstein files that DOJ had improperly redacted.

DOJ promptly unredacted the men’s names as well as several women in the list that we didn’t flag. The two redacted names are victims. https://t.co/fLLzGW9rR7 pic.twitter.com/DTfK30Kppk
After reviewing the files Monday night, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) told reporters, “I don’t think everyone there that was talking about underage girls being trafficked are victims.”

Asked if she thought Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell should be granted clemency, Boebert replied, “I do not. I think Ghislaine Maxwell should get more time and she should definitely be in a harsher prison. It’s absolutely disgusting.”
