Looks like #JohnPaulson was in #Epstein's little black book!

Massie hits critics after latest Epstein files release: ‘It was not a hoax’

by Sarah Davis - 01/31/26

"Massie said these two donors are targeting him because of his involvement in a bipartisan group of legislators pushing for the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Republican representative alleged that Paulson appeared in Epstein’s 'black book,' a contact log kept by the disgraced financier.

“Within hours of the #EpsteinFiles release, a #superPAC funded by #IsraelFirst #billionaires #MiriamAdelson, #PaulSinger, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book, bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me,' Massie said in a second post on X. 'I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.' "
