Rep Thomas Massie Exposes UAE Sultan bin Sulayem as Epstein’s “Torture Video” Sender

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky who has advocated for greater transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein files, recently claimed that the redacted sender in a notable 2009 email chain referencing a “torture video” was Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the chairman and CEO of the global logistics firm DP World.

Massie stated that after reviewing unredacted versions of the documents at the Department of Justice and applying pressure through his public posts on X, the DOJ made adjustments that he interpreted as a tacit admission of bin Sulayem’s identity in connection to the email.

In the correspondence, Epstein reportedly wrote to the recipient, “I loved the torture video,” with the sender’s name initially obscured in released versions, prompting Massie to criticize the redactions as improper since federal law prioritizes protecting victims’ information rather than that of alleged associates or correspondents.

The revelation has intensified scrutiny amid ongoing releases of Epstein-related materials, with Massie arguing that such details should be fully disclosed to the public rather than shielded, describing the content as involving “torture porn” sent to Epstein.

Bin Sulayem, a prominent figure in UAE business and international logistics, has not publicly responded to the claims, and the precise nature or context of the referenced video remains unclear from available reports. Massie’s assertions, shared via social media threads and echoed in various news outlets, highlight broader debates over redactions in the Epstein files, potential implications for high-profile individuals linked to Epstein, and calls for further unredacted disclosures to ensure accountability.
