Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn submitted a subpoena for Senate approval on Thursday demanding the release of the flight logs from deceased financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s personal plane. The aircraft nicknamed “The Lolita Express,” infamously transported prominent and wealthy individuals to destinations including Epstein’s private island, where countless underage girls were abused—but for years, the identities of these passengers have remained a mystery.
Senator Blackburn first announced her subpoena during a Thursday Senate Judiciary Committee meeting addressing Democrat attempts to launch an ethics probe against the conservative-majority Supreme Court. During a heated exchange with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Blackburn announced a series of other subpoenas targeting issues Democrats would rather avoid, including one directed at the Epstein estate.
“Since we’re in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more that I’ve filed,” Blackburn began. “[First] a subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane.”
“Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and sexual abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, I think it is very important that we identify everybody who was on that plane and how many trips they took on that plane and the destinations to which they arrived,” she continued.

Jeffrey Epstein, who rose to prominence as a financier with an extensive circle of celebrities, politicians, and businesspeople, was arrested and charged with running a vast sex trafficking network in 2019, primarily targeting underage girls. Epstein pleaded not guilty but was later found dead in his prison cell while awaiting trial. His death was ruled a suicide, but the circumstances around it—which included malfunctioning security cameras, absent guards, and inconsistent medical reports—have caused questions and conspiracy theories to persist.
Epstein owned at least three private jets in the last decade of his life, including a Gulfstream II sold in November 2013, a Gulfstream IV sold before his arrest, and the infamous “Lolita Express,” a Boeing 727. The flight records of this third plane allegedly contain the names of many well-known figures, implicating them as participants in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. In 2021, prosecutors released documents from the flight records as part of the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice and former girlfriend. However, these documents have not been made available for public view.
Women and girls victimized by Epstein have alleged that public figures including Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton all participated in the late financier’s illicit activities, though these claims have not yet been seriously prosecuted.
Previous Republican-led efforts to secure the release of the flight logs and Epstein’s rumored “little black book” of clients have all been unsuccessful, fueling theories of a government coverup.
Senator Blackburn’s other proposed subpoenas include one directed at Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s recent book deals, another compelling testimony from Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra about missing migrant children, and a third focusing on President Joe Biden’s alleged efforts to censor Elon Musk.
