Two Republican congresswomen who viewed the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files say the documents show that some of the names blacked out in the public files include co-conspirators “claiming to be victims.”

“Some of the people that are in the most egregious redactions are claiming to be victims, and I don’t think that they’re victims if you’re engaging in child sex trafficking,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Tex., told Pablo Manriquez of the anti-Trump media company MeidasTouch.

Luna, who sits on the House Oversight Committee investigating the Epstein case, said the files also revealed that Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is a “monster.”

Maxwell, who was moved to a cushy prison camp over the summer, following an interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition Monday.

She indicated that if President Donald Trump ended her prison sentence, she was willing to testify that neither he nor former President Bill Clinton had done anything wrong in their connections with Epstein.

“According to the files we all saw, she was engaged in trafficking and also rape of young women, and potentially children,” Luna said. “I don’t think she deserves special treatment. She’s a monster.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., who also sits on the House Oversight Committee, came to the same conclusion as Luna after viewing the unredacted files.

“I think there are folks who are definitely implicated and co-conspirators … I don’t think everyone there that was talking about underage girls being trafficked are victims," she said.

Asked by Manriquez if she believes Maxwell deserves leniency, Boebert replied, “I do not. I think Ghislaine Maxwell should get more time and she should definitely be in a harsher prison than what she’s in. Absolutely disgusting.”
