MTG says ‘only evil people’ would protect Epstein’s enablers as documents shed light on possible co-conspirators
The latest trove of documents from the cases against Jeffrey Epstein includes several accounts from women detailing his alleged crimes, including testimony from one woman who said she was “kept in a stall” and raped by Epstein and other men.
Victims’ testimonies and other details have been redacted to protect their identities, though the men in those filings and in other documents have also not been identified.
The documents also reveal that federal prosecutors and investigators probing Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell identified at least 10 alleged co-conspirators, raising more questions about the scope of their crimes and the trafficking and abuse of young girls.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who faced Trump’s wrath after she joined members of Congress demanding the release of the Epstein files, shared “horrifying” screenshots of the woman’s account.
“Trump called me a traitor for fighting him to release the Epstein files and standing with women who were raped, jailed in stalls, and trafficked to men,” she wrote Tuesday. “Only evil people would hide this and protect those who participated. I pray for these women.”
Trump, who has distanced himself from Epstein after their yearslong relationship fell apart in the early 2000s, appears throughout the documents. Prosecutors determined he was a passenger on Epstein’s private plane more than previously understood, according to the newly released files.
He is not accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s crimes, and one’s inclusion in the documents does not suggest otherwise.
FBI Director Kash Patel testified to senators earlier this year that there was “no credible information” that Epstein trafficked women and girls to anyone but himself, though lawmakers investigating Epstein identified at least 20 alleged co-conspirators whose names were provided by victims cooperating with law enforcement.
Newly released documents reveal that investigators identified at least 10 co-conspirators in Epstein’s sex trafficking case as far back as 2019, but their names have largely never been publicly revealed.
Three of those alleged co-conspirators lived in Florida and were subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury, according to an email from July 2019. There were others in Boston, New York City and Connecticut, according to the messages.
The only named alleged co-conspirators are Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after she was found guilty of trafficking; former French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who was found dead in jail in 2022; and retail mogul Leslie Wexner, who severed ties with Epstein after his indictment in Florida in the late 2000s.
A message from investigators notes that one of the potential co-conspirators is a “wealthy business man in Ohio,” believed to be Wexner.
An email dated July 7, 2019, reads, “When you get a chance can you give me an update on the status of the 10 [co-conspirators]?” The email sender’s name was redacted but includes a signature that reads “FBI New York.”
The author of a reply email wrote, “I do not know about Ohio contacting Wexner.”
