Cynthia West Accuses Thomas Massie of Trying to Silence Her (5/14/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:02
Epstein Chronicles. A couple of weeks ago, we were talking
0:06
about Eric Swalwell and the allegations that have been made
0:10
against him. Well, now we're hearing more allegations, but this
0:13
time against Thomas Massey, and these allegations are being made
0:17
by a woman named Cynthia West, who says that she
0:21
had a relationship with Thomas Massey. But according to her,
0:24
she ended up ending that relationship because she wasn't comfortable
0:28
with some of the behavior and some of the desires
0:30
of Thomas Massey. And she alleges that hush money was
0:33
offered to her to keep quiet, but she didn't take
0:36
that money. Now, of course, we have to keep in
0:40
mind that Thomas Massey has been a very vocal critic
0:43
of Donald Trump, and he's also up for reelection in
0:47
a few days, so we have to always keep in
0:50
mind that it could be some sort of political attack.
0:54
But with that said, we have to also keep in
0:56
mind that this lady could be telling the truth. I mean,
1:02
Massy's no different than anybody else. He's not above speculation,
1:06
he's not above reproach, and if somebody is making credible
1:10
allegations against you. We're gonna listen now, that doesn't mean
1:14
I think Massy's guilty. Just like I told you, it's walwell,
1:17
I don't know. I don't have all the details, but
1:21
I'll tell you this much. It's not looking great for
1:23
Thomas Massey right now. And if these allegations prove to
1:27
be true, it's a rap for Thomas Massey. So today
1:30
we have an article from Newsweek and the headline who
1:34
is Cynthia West Thomas Massey accusations explained. This article was
1:40
authored by Hugh Cameron. The former girlfriend of Kentucky Republican
1:44
Thomas Massey, has accused the congressman of offering her hush
1:48
money in exchange for not speaking out against one of
1:51
his allies on Capitol Hill, just days before the GOP
1:54
representative faces a primary against a Trump endorsed challenger. And
1:59
when I say be cautious, that's all I mean. When
2:01
we're talking about politics, we know that there's no holds
2:04
barred and everything's on the table, and people are going
2:07
to look to do whatever they have to do to
2:09
try and you know, win the election. And if there's
2:12
an inroad with you, supposedly you know, doing what Thomas
2:16
Massey allegedly did that's going to be utilized. Cynthia West,
2:21
a former congressional aid now running for school board in Florida,
2:25
has alleged that Massy secured her a job in Congress
2:28
in the office of Republican Representative Victoria Sparts of Indiana
2:32
after the pair struck up a romantic relationship. However, Wes
2:36
said Massey soon began engaging in behavior she wasn't comfortable with,
2:41
after which she ended the relationship. And look, there's some
2:45
concerning stuff here, and it looks like some of the
2:48
stuff that miss West is saying is backed up. And
2:52
if you look at some of her previous posts, she
2:55
was talking about this months ago. So I'm certainly interested
2:58
to hear what she has to say, and I'm willing
2:59
to listen to whatever evidence she puts forth. As I've
3:03
told you from the very beginning, I don't have any
3:05
faves these politicians. They're not people to look up to.
3:09
They're not people that you should be defending to your
3:13
very last breath. They don't care about you. They tell
3:16
you what you want to hear, but they don't care
3:18
about you. Wes said that Massey offered her five thousand
3:23
dollars after she said she would file a wrongful termination
3:27
complaint against Parts, who said she had fostered a toxic
3:31
work environment. Wes said she declined this as well as
3:34
sixty thousand dollars settlement payment from the Office of Congressional
3:38
Workplace Rights, which would have required her to sign a
3:41
non disclosure agreement. And that's part of that slush fund
3:44
we talked about. And boy, that's horrible and it's really
3:47
disgusting if that's the case, If MASSI was involved in
3:51
trying to pay this lady off after all this bullshit
3:53
about Epstein, I don't want to hear from him ever again.
3:56
All these double speaking ass politicians, they can all go
4:00
get screwed. I don't trust any of them. Massey declined
4:05
to comment when reached by Axios, and he referred the
4:08
outlet to attorney and political ally Stephen Done, who wrote
4:11
on social media that there was an absence of any specific,
4:15
verifiable allegations from West and that she had documented history
4:19
of making false abuse allegations. All right, let's see the evidence.
4:24
I want to see the evidence from both sides. What
4:27
do we got, what are we working with? Is this
4:29
a political hit? Or is Thomas Massey just another big
4:32
mouth that's trying to utilize the Epstein situation for his
4:36
own benefit, which, of course I don't put past him,
4:39
just another politician doing politician shit. But keep in mind,
4:43
if he did offer a briber and pair off, that's
4:46
a federal offense, and he could definitely be charged. Now.
4:49
I don't know if they will, and I don't even
4:51
know if it's true, but that's certainly a possibility. Newsweek
4:55
is contacted West the offices of Massy and Sparts, and
4:59
the ocwas for comment via email. West. Allegations first emerged
5:05
in an interview with conservative Kentucky lawyer Marcus Kerrey that
5:09
was posted on the website conceived in Liberty dot org.
5:13
In the twenty three minute interview, Wes said Massie privately
5:16
messager on X in August of twenty twenty four, two
5:20
months after the death of his wife, Ronda, and that
5:23
the pair quickly began an intense relationship. So weird. I
5:29
don't think I've ever sent a message to some random
5:32
stranger on X. Was that like a hookup site? Now?
5:39
Wes said he joined Massey on political excursions and that
5:42
he encouraged her to leave her job and come to
5:45
DC to spend more time together. He later secured her
5:48
a job in sports office. She added, and if all
5:51
that's true, and that's the case, then Thomas Massey's in
5:54
big trouble. And I don't just mean the optics, I
5:57
mean big trouble. And if you're gonna position yourself as
6:01
some champion for transparency and for the fair treatment of
6:05
people and for the rule of law, you better walk
6:07
the walk because if you don't, you're gonna get hammered.
6:12
If you're running around being a hypocrite about something like this,
6:14
you're gonna be exposed. However, Wes said she broke off
6:17
the relationship after Massey asked her to engage in behavior
6:21
that I just wasn't comfortable with. So I just couldn't
6:23
stay in that relationship. And I get that, right, Not
6:27
everybody's comfortable with everything. And honestly, what people do in
6:30
their bedroom is not my business as long as it's
6:33
between consenting adults. I don't care what you do. Have
6:37
at it. You want address as a unicorn and have
6:39
your dude dresses, Jason Vorhees, I don't care. If that's
6:43
what gets you off, have a blast I'm not some puritan.
6:46
I'm not somebody that thinks, you know, oh well, this
6:49
is evil, this is bad. God says. I don't do
6:51
that because it's none of my business. What is my
6:54
business is taxpayer dollars being used to pay people off.
6:58
If they're making accusations against a politician, that's my business.
7:03
And if these allegations are true, then Thomas Massey, he's
7:07
on the clock. However, Wes said she broke off the
7:09
relationship after Massey asked her to engage in behavior that
7:12
I just wasn't comfortable with. So I just couldn't stay
7:15
in that relationship. Wes called Massy emotionally abusive, and she
7:20
said that shortly after the breakup with them, she found
7:23
out via text message that she had been fired. I
7:26
hadn't done anything wrong, Wes said, so playing devil's advocate?
7:31
Could this be retaliation because she was fired and she
7:34
wants to get back at Massey, so she makes up
7:36
these allegations. I don't know it's a possibility, but I
7:40
have to tell you, I don't think that Massey's reaction
7:43
here is very good. He's not getting out in front
7:48
of it, he's not challenging the allegations made against him,
7:52
and he's acting like nobody's saying anything about him. But
7:55
the truth is what she's saying is pretty damning. And
7:58
it's also going to be harmful to the Epstein transparency
8:01
push because people are going to use this to try
8:05
and say, oh, look, it's all just a big hoax.
8:07
Thomas Massey is a diddler himself, and they're already starting
8:11
to do that. When she contacted the OCWR regarding her
8:15
termination and inform Massy of her pending ethics complaint, Wes
8:19
said he offered her cow money earned from his farm
8:22
in Kentucky to just walk away. He offered her cow money.
8:27
What the fuck does that mean? He had five thousand
8:30
dollars that he said he would give me if I
8:32
just walk away. I didn't take it, though, five thousand dollars.
8:36
That's it, brother, You better have a bigger bag. Nobody's
8:41
walking away for five g's. You're some congressman, mister big
8:44
mouth about Epstein all the time. Five thousand Measley bucks,
8:48
You better go to the bank. According to legistorm westwork
8:53
between December twenty twenty four and March twenty twenty five,
8:57
as on operations and scheduling director for Sparks, who represents
9:01
Indiana's fifth congressional district. Records from sports Office show that
9:06
West was employed between early January and late March, and
9:10
that she was paid seventeen thousand, one hundred and eleven
9:13
dollars and ten cents during this twelve week period. Yo
9:17
fifty three hundred bucks a week or so. Pretty good money, huh.
9:22
A spokesperson for Sparts told Axios that West held a
9:26
temporary ninety day probationary period with the office and her
9:30
employment was not extended beyond that period due to unsatisfactory
9:34
job performance. Okay, we have to take that into account.
9:38
Could this be her trying to get revenge? Well, I
9:41
got fired, so f them something to think about. And
9:46
my guess is that's going to be Massey's defense. Massy
9:49
has directed outlets to comments done made on x in
9:52
which he said that in twenty twenty four, a court
9:55
in Florida dismissed a domestic violence complaint West had made
9:58
against her then Husbandmothy West. Quite the tangled web, isn't it?
10:02
And I have advice for all these people. Don't be
10:06
an asshole. If you're not an asshole, and you don't
10:08
treat people badly. You don't have to worry about people
10:11
coming back and telling stories about you, she told Axios.
10:15
The petition failed because she chose to represent herself rather
10:18
than hire an attorney, as court records confirm. Newsweeks contacted
10:22
Timothy West for comment via the attorney who represented them
10:26
in the domestic violence case. Doane, who serves in the
10:30
Kentucky House of Representatives, did not directly counter west allegation
10:34
against Massey, but he said she had provided no evidence
10:38
of any kind to support these and that's what it's
10:40
going to come down to, right evidence. Is there evidence
10:43
one way or the other, And if there is, Thomas
10:45
Massey's out and maybe more. Massey, who's seeking an eighth
10:51
term in the House, is running against Trump backed Ed
10:54
Galleran in the primary election for Kentucky's fourth congressional district.
10:58
The race, which is scheduled for May nineteenth, has become
11:01
the most expensive House primary in history, which Massey has
11:05
attributed to his clashes with Trump and the administration and
11:09
his criticism of the US support for Israel. Oh, He's
11:13
definitely faced a lot of blowback, one hundred percent. And
11:16
that's why I say be a little bit cautious here,
11:18
because when it comes to politics, you never know. But
11:21
I think we need more information, right. There needs to
11:23
be a little bit more documentation and some evidence, and
11:27
according to miss West, she has that evidence. West meanwhile,
11:32
is running for the Okaloosa County school Board in Florida,
11:35
where she's hoping to unseat Brett Hinley, who was appointed
11:38
by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. In a recent interview with
11:42
Florida Politics, she said she was running to improve transparency
11:46
and long term planning for the country schools. Wes said
11:49
in her interview with Carrie that she was neither affiliated
11:52
nor working with any political candidate in Kentucky and had
11:56
not been paid to bring forward the allegations against Massey.
12:00
All right, well we have to take her out our word, right,
12:04
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Let's see
12:06
what you have to say. According to campaign finance records
12:10
on voterfocus dot com, West is raised over eighty thousand
12:13
dollars to support her school board bid. This includes seventy
12:17
seven thousand secured from October through December of last year,
12:21
which comprised one thousand dollars donations from named individuals and
12:25
businesses and a sixty five thousand dollars loan from West
12:29
to herself. All right, look, we don't know what happened here, right,
12:33
this is very early and we're just getting the first
12:36
salvo of allegations. But it's very concerning. And when you
12:41
run around talking away MASSI has you better be living
12:46
a pretty virtuous life because if not, this is the
12:50
end result. So what do you guys think? Do you
12:52
think that Thomas Massey is being attacked here or do
12:56
you think that this has some legs? Shoot me some
12:58
emails and let me know. All the information that goes
