New Files Reveal FBI Tracked 10 Potential Epstein Co-Conspirators

WASHINGTON D.C. : As the Department of Justice complies with a new transparency law, the focus of the Epstein investigation has shifted from the deceased financier to those who potentially aided his crimes.

The ‘List of 10’ Internal FBI emails from 2019, included in Tuesday’s 11,000-page release, indicate that investigators identified 10 possible “co-conspirators.” At the time the emails were written, subpoenas had been served to six of them across Florida, Boston, New York, and Connecticut.

Four others remained, including a “wealthy businessman in Ohio.” While many names remain redacted, one unredacted name mentioned in conjunction with “Ohio” is Les Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria’s Secret. Wexner has previously stated he was “embarrassed” by his ties to Epstein. His lawyers told the BBC that federal prosecutors confirmed at the time that Wexner was “neither a co-conspirator nor target” and that he cooperated fully.

The Redaction Battle Despite the volume of the release, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are accusing the DOJ of over-redacting the files. Under the new law, redactions are only permitted to protect victims or active investigations—not to prevent “reputational harm” to associates.

“There’s 10 co-conspirators potentially that we knew nothing about that the DOJ had been investigating,” Democrat Congressman Suhas Subramanyam told the BBC. Subramanyam and other members of the House Oversight Committee are currently exploring legal avenues to force the DOJ to unmask names that are currently blacked out.

A Glimpse into the ‘Public Inquiry’ The files also include a bizarre array of public submissions, including 3D-generated “fake” videos of Epstein in his cell. Their inclusion demonstrates the immense pressure on federal authorities to provide answers to a public fueled by conspiracy theories. With 10 potential co-conspirators once in the crosshairs, the demand for unredacted truths is only growing louder in Washington.
