In a post on X, Mace wrote that the committee &#8220;needs to bring in more individuals to more thoroughly continue the Epstein investigation,&#8221; and placed <strong>Carter <\/strong>on her list of names. <a href=\"https:\/\/rollingout.com\/2026\/03\/05\/jay-z-faces-from-congress-over-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rolling Out reported<\/a> that Mace signaled subpoenas could follow if the evidence warrants it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand marks an extraordinary moment \u2014 a sitting congresswoman publicly identifying one of the most controversial figures in American entertainment and calling him to account within a federal investigation that has already reshaped elite accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Document Implicating Jay-Z<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carter&#8217;s<\/strong> name appears in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/epstein\/files\/DataSet%209\/EFTA01249586.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOJ-released FBI crisis intake report<\/a> in which an anonymous victim, claiming she had been <strong>drugged and sexually abused<\/strong> over several years, stated she once woke up in a room with both <strong>Harvey Weinstein<\/strong> and <strong>Jay-Z<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/jay-z-harvey-weinstein-pusha-t-epstein-files-1236647297\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Variety confirmed<\/a> the mention came through a tip archived as part of the broader <strong>Epstein investigation<\/strong>.

Separate Epstein messages from January 2019 discuss Spiro in connection with the Harvey Weinstein defense alongside attorney <strong>Benjamin Brafman<\/strong> \u2014 who simultaneously represented <strong>Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs for decades<\/strong>. On April 1, 2019, Epstein emailed former White House Counsel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2026\/02\/13\/kathy-ruemmler-resigns-amid-epstein-files-alex-spiros-secret-jay-zs-lawyer\/\">Kathryn Ruemmler<\/a> \u2014 who resigned from Goldman Sachs in February 2026 over her own Epstein entanglements \u2014 asking whether he should hire Spiro. Three days later, Epstein confirmed a meeting with <strong>&#8220;Alex Spiro and Bannon,&#8221;<\/strong> referencing former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, who had <strong>recommended Spiro to the convicted sex offender.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, <strong>Spiro serves as Jay-Z&#8217;s personal attorney and Roc Nation&#8217;s counsel<\/strong>, having aggressively fought to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing <strong>Carter and Combs<\/strong> of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV afterparty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Diddy Parallel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carter&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>exposure <\/strong>is inseparable from the fall of his longtime associate, <strong>Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs <\/strong>\u2014 now a convicted felon serving a 50-month federal sentence for transportation to engage in prostitution.

His attorney has characterized all allegations as baseless. But the terrain has shifted: a member of Congress has named him, DOJ documents place him in the Epstein investigation files, his personal attorney appears in Epstein&#8217;s own communications, and his closest entertainment associate is serving a federal sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oversight Committee has the documents.
