The fight over the Jeffrey Epstein files is intensifying — and Representative Nancy Mace says she’s no longer willing to rely on the Department of Justice to decide what the American public is allowed to see.
In an exclusive interview on The Joe Pags Show, Mace detailed her efforts to personally review materials connected to the Epstein investigation, arguing that the public record reflects only a fraction of the broader trafficking network that operated for years.
“What he was convicted of is such a small fraction of what was actually going on, right?” Mace told Pags, pointing to allegations that extended far beyond the charges that ultimately resulted in Epstein’s original conviction.
Mace said she is pushing for access to unredacted files, including travel records, passports, pseudonyms, and any additional documentation that could clarify the scope of Epstein’s international connections. She also raised concerns about intelligence-community involvement and whether certain information has been shielded from public scrutiny.
The congresswoman did not shy away from addressing lingering questions surrounding Epstein’s death. After reviewing images and documentation from the jail cell, Mace told Pags, “I looked at the noose and it looked way too big for somebody’s neck.” She went further, adding, “there’s no way that he hung himself in that room,” expressing direct skepticism about the official account.
Mace emphasized that transparency in the case should not be a partisan issue. She noted, “Donald Trump is the one that released the files,” crediting him with allowing previously sealed materials to become public. She also reiterated that Trump removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago decades ago after concerns were raised.
Beyond the files themselves, Mace framed the situation as a test of political will in Washington. “I think we operate out of fear,” she said, arguing that members of Congress too often hesitate when powerful names or institutions are involved.
As she continues her gubernatorial campaign in South Carolina, Mace says exposing corruption and demanding accountability remain central priorities. She made clear that her review of the Epstein materials is ongoing — and that she believes more information should come to light.
The full interview explores what she says remains hidden in the files, why she questions the DOJ’s handling of the case, and what Congress could do next.
