Epstein bombshell as NINE-year-old victim and ‘senior government official’ are revealed in redacted files

After reviewing redacted files, lawmakers revealed she was a nine-year-old victim of Jeffrey Epstein and was linked to a current high-ranking foreign government official.

Reps. Thomas Massie, a Republican, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat, announced at a news conference Monday that six people were likely charged in the files.

The bipartisan duo has been spearheading the release of the Epstein Files since last July and pushing for a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was eventually signed into law by President Trump.

Despite the law, they are still struggling for transparency as the Justice Department released more than 3 million Epstein files on January 30, though the majority have been largely redacted.

Massie, from Kentucky, told reporters that the files included a person “in a very high position in a foreign government” and appealed to Donald: EmbersThe Ministry of Justice will ‘correct its mistakes’.

A document published by Massie contains 18 redactions, four of whom were men born before 1970.

Monday marked the first time members of Congress were able to view the unredacted files by visiting the Justice Department building in Northeast Washington, D.C., in person and accessing them from the Justice Department’s computers.

Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, who also visited the Justice Department office, said the files include several previously unreported teenage victims, one of whom was nine years old.

Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Ro Khanna of California are leading the fight to release the Epstein files and are seen arriving at the Department of Justice office in Washington, DC, on February 9, 2026.

‘You read these files and you read about 15-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls. Today I saw a 9-year-old girl mentioned. “So this is completely irrational and scandalous,” Raskin said.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime girlfriend, pleaded to the Fifth and refused to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein at a closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill.

The jailed British socialite appeared before lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee for less than an hour on Monday.

Maxwell was removed from office as part of a bipartisan congressional investigation into the Justice Department’s investigation and handling of the Epstein case.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill after Maxwell’s remarks earlier on Monday, Khanna also warned that the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal could pose a serious threat to the British monarchy, arguing that the controversy extends far beyond individual wrongdoings and into the heart of the UK’s political and social fabric.

Khanna said the Epstein case exposed what he described as a culture of elite impunity and suggested the monarchy was facing a moment of unprecedented vulnerability.

“This is the most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been,” Khanna said, adding that the scandal could possibly lead to the collapse of the monarchy.

Khanna argued that the release of the Epstein-related files revealed a protected network of powerful individuals who have long evaded accountability, noting specifically Prince Andrew’s relationship with Epstein and the involvement of prominent political figures such as Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to D.C.

According to Khanna, symbolic actions such as the removal of royal titles do not imply meaningful accountability.

He also drew attention to the silence of high-ranking figures and King George III. He said Charles had a responsibility to disclose what he knew about the matter and when he knew it.

Khanna warned that if the British monarchy collapses under the weight of Epstein’s revelations, the consequences will not be limited to the United Kingdom.

He said the scandal threatened to expose a wider transatlantic elite, with consequences extending far beyond the royal family.
