Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is warning that a full, unredacted release of the names contained in the Jeffrey Epstein files would shock the world and expose what she calls one of the most sweeping cover-ups in modern American history.
During a recent appearance on Piers Morgans program, Mace described her reaction after being granted access to unredacted documents tied to the Department of Justices investigation into the late financiers sprawling sex-trafficking operation, as reported by Western Journal. The congresswoman said the material she reviewed, which relates to the activities of Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, raises profound questions about who has been protected and why.
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, she told Morgan in a video later posted to YouTube. And were talking about people on both sides of the aisle. Were talking about famous people, rich people, people in power, prime ministers, former prime ministers, former presidents, etc., media personalities that are named in these files.
Thats why I say this is going to go down as one of the greatest cover-ups in American history, Mace continued, voicing deep skepticism that true accountability will ever be achieved. This kind of thing cannot continue to go on.
Youd be surprised, shocked even at some of the names in the files, she reiterated moments later, underscoring her belief that the public has been systematically shielded from the truth. From her vantage point, the pattern fits a familiar Washington script: powerful figures allegedly implicated, bureaucrats circling the wagons, and ordinary citizens left in the dark.
On social media, Mace unleashed her frustration over the redactions that still remain and pledged to use her position in Congress to force transparency. After todays review of the Epstein files at the DOJ, I have a list of names I will be requesting the House Oversight Committee invite to testify and, if necessary, subpoena. I have questions, Mace posted on X.
She followed that with a promise to dismantle what she views as an entrenched culture of secrecy. The days of cover-up are over. Were PULLING back the curtain. We will learn who knew, who participated, and who covered up Jeffrey Epsteins crimes, she added in a later post.
Despite being told she was reviewing unredacted material, Mace said key information remains concealed. She wrote on X that despite being labeled as unredacted, many documents are STILL redacted. Co-conspirators. Internal DOJ memos. Decades of information hidden. Not on my watch.
The congresswoman further alleged that the Department of Justice is monitoring what members of Congress access inside the system. Yes. I will confirm. DOJ is tracking the Epstein documents Members of Congress search for, open, and review. I was able to navigate the system today and I wont disclose how or the nature of how; but confirmed the DOJ is TAGGING ALL DOCUMENTS Members of Congress search, open and review. Based on how I confirmed this, there are timestamps associated with this tracking, she posted on X.
Speaking to the Post and Courier, Mace said the files she was allowed to see barely scratched the surface. The whole time we thought: why arent these co-conspirators rotting behind bars? Powerful people made deals with a convicted pedophile and turned a blind eye while young girls were being trafficked and abused, she said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Mace appeared alongside women who say they were once ensnared in Epsteins network and pledged to continue pressing for justice on their behalf. This morning we stood with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein as they courageously shared their stories, Mace said, adding that she has lost all faith in the justice system, but her belief in the victims who have come forward will never fade, according to WCIV-TV.
For many conservatives, Maces account reinforces long-standing concerns that a politicized justice system protects elites while failing victims and everyday Americans. Her vow to expose who knew, who participated, and who covered up Jeffrey Epsteins crimes speaks to a broader demand for equal justice under the law, a demand that will only grow louder if the names she has seen ever reach the light of day.
