THE MARQUEE
U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace is turning up the heat in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein investigation. On March 5, 2026, Mace publicly called for billionaire rapper Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter to testify before Congress. This move follows the resurfacing of unverified documents that mention the music mogul in connection with the late financier’s social circle.
The push for testimony stems from a 2019 FBI hotline tip that was recently made public. The document alleges that in 1996, a woman awoke in the presence of both Jay-Z and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein. While this tip remains unverified, Mace is citing the report as a primary reason for the Roc Nation founder to provide formal answers regarding his past associations.
Despite the high-profile call for action, Jay-Z has not been charged with any crime. As of March 5, 2026, his name does not appear in federal dockets as a defendant or co-conspirator. No formal subpoena has been issued to the rapper, and he remains a private citizen with no legal obligation to testify at this time.
