Republican alleges FBI has names of Epstein clients, including billionaire Canadian

By Canadian Press on September 18, 2025.

WASHINGTON — A Republican lawmaker on Wednesday alleged the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has the names of some of the late Jeffrey Epstein’s clients, including a “billionaire from Canada.”

Rep. Thomas Massie made the claim during a House Judiciary Committee hearing where he pushed FBI Director Kash Patel to release more documents related to the investigation of the notorious sex trafficker.

The Republican, who represents Kentucky, said the FBI has the names of at least 20 men he alleges were Epstein clients, including the unnamed Canadian, high-profile entertainers, a Hollywood producer, a banker and others.

Patel testified repeatedly that there is no Epstein client list and insisted he has released everything he is “legally allowed” to release.

Massie’s office has not yet responded to a request for comment and the FBI National Press Office said it had no comment.

The controversy surrounding Epstein has dogged President Donald Trump, who has started labelling it a Democratic hoax.
