In early February 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) sparked a firestorm by claiming the unredacted Epstein files held by the DOJ contain names that would “shock” the nation. Following a massive release of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Mace and a bipartisan group of lawmakers are accusing the government of an ongoing cover-up.

- The “Two-Tiered” System: Mace claims the unredacted files reveal a protective shield around the global elite.
- Document “Pullbacks”: She accused the DOJ of removing files from the public portal shortly after their January 30th release under the guise of “fixing redactions.”
- Surveillance: Mace alleges the DOJ is actively tracking which documents Members of Congress are searching for and opening.
The Names Step Out of the Shadows
While Mace has kept her specific list close to the chest for now, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) used their floor privileges to bypass potential legal threats and read six names into the public record:
| Name | Role / Background | Connection Details |
| Les Wexner | Victoria’s Secret Founder | Labeled a “co-conspirator” in FBI files; Epstein’s primary benefactor. |
| Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem | DP World CEO (Dubai) | Linked to a 2015 email describing a sexual encounter with a student. |
| Nicola Caputo | Italian Private Citizen | Note: Not the MEP of the same name. |
| Salvatore Nuara | Unknown | Connection currently under investigation by House oversight. |
| Zurab Mikeladze | Unknown | Connection currently under investigation by House oversight. |
| Leonic Leonov | Unknown | Connection currently under investigation by House oversight. |
The Bottom Line
The 2026 push isn’t about the names we already know (like Clinton, Trump, or Prince Andrew). It is focused on the previously redacted “predators” and enablers. Mace has called this her “hill to die on,” promising that the push for full, unedited transparency will continue until every name is exposed.
