Nancy Mace Says She's Seen Unredacted Epstein List, Which Shields 'Prime Ministers' and 'Former Presidents'

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is sounding the alarm after reviewing what she described as deeply troubling material tied to the Department of Justice’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s international sex-trafficking operation. The congresswoman says the American public would be stunned if the full scope of the files were made public — and she is pushing for greater transparency despite what she claims are ongoing efforts to conceal key information.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan’s program, Mace discussed her access to documents she said were labeled unredacted but still contained significant omissions. Speaking candidly about what she encountered, she stated, “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.”

According to Mace, the files allegedly reference individuals from across the political spectrum and beyond Washington’s corridors of power. “And we’re talking about people on both sides of the aisle. We’re 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.”

The South Carolina Republican argued that the Epstein saga represents a profound institutional failure and warned that public trust in government institutions is at stake. “That’s why I say this is going to go down as one of the greatest cover-ups in American history,” she said, adding that she doubted justice would ever surface. She emphasized the urgency of reform and accountability, declaring, “This kind of thing cannot continue to go on.” Moments later, she reiterated the gravity of the material she reviewed: “You’d be surprised, shocked even at some of the names in the files.”

In a series of posts on X, Mace promised aggressive congressional oversight. “After today’s 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. In another post, she added, “The days of cover-up are over. We’re PULLING back the curtain. We will learn who knew, who participated, and who covered up Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.”

Mace also expressed frustration that documents purportedly labeled as unredacted still contained withheld information. She wrote on X that despite the designation, “many documents are STILL redacted. Co-conspirators. Internal DOJ memos. Decades of information – hidden. Not on my watch.” Her remarks reflect broader conservative concerns about transparency within federal agencies and whether politically connected figures have received special treatment.

In a further post, Mace alleged that the Department of Justice is closely monitoring congressional access to the materials. “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 won’t 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.

The congresswoman later told the Post and Courier that what she had seen represented only a fraction of the total evidence, saying the files she reviewed “barely scratched the surface.” In a strongly worded statement, she added, “The whole time we thought: why aren’t 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.”

Mace recently appeared alongside women who said they were once trapped within Epstein’s network, pledging to advocate on behalf of survivors and hold powerful institutions accountable. “This morning we stood with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein as they courageously shared their stories,” Mace said. She added she has “lost all faith in the justice system,” but her belief in the victims who have told their stories “will never fade,” according to WCIV-TV.

As congressional oversight intensifies, the push for full disclosure is likely to fuel ongoing debate over government transparency, institutional accountability, and whether entrenched political interests have obstructed justice. For many conservatives, Mace’s revelations reinforce long-standing concerns that federal agencies must be held to stricter constitutional standards — and that the American people deserve the full truth, no matter who it implicates.
