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.' "

"In addition to his business dealings, Singer also has deep ties to politics; he was one of Trump’s 10 biggest donors, contributing $5 million to his 2024 electoral campaign."

"So, who has the most to gain from the Trump Administration’s takeover? Meet Paul Singer.
Singer is the founder, president & co-CEO of Elliott Investment Management. In November 2025, his company’s affiliate Amber Energy won court approval to acquire the parent company of Citgo, the US-based subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-run oil company - Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA)."

"Oil companies are key partners in Trump’s imperial plans for Latin America. Stocks in ExxonMobil, Halliburton, and ConocoPhillips surged the day after Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela."

‘What an #Authoritarian #Oligarchy Looks Like’: #Trump Says #OilExecs Tipped Off About #Venezuela Attack
“I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,” said one critic. “He did not inform #Congress but he’s saying he informed the #OilCompanies.”

Excerpt: " 'I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,' said Fred Wellman, an Army combat veteran now running for Congress as a Democrat in Missouri. 'He did not inform Congress, but he’s saying he informed the oil companies.'
" 'Keep in mind who he means,' Wellman added. 'The #billionaire #MegaDonor that just got control of #Citgo. Our service members were used directly to move the interests of Trump’s #donors.'
" 'The oil companies were notified before Congress,' said Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health. 'This is what an authoritarian oligarchy looks like.' "
