U.S. Senate Candidate Karishma Manzur demands full investigation into names in the Epstein files, including John Sununu and Dean Kamen

EXETER, NH (February 16, 2026) – John Sununu and Dean Kamen were named in the recent wider release of Epstein files, exposing connections to Jeffrey Epstein’s circle.

Statement from U.S. Senate Candidate Karishma Manzur

John Sununu has denied knowing the pedophile, serial rapist, and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, despite the phrase “John Sununu has good stories” appearing in the Epstein files.

Those words raise serious questions that deserve clear, public answers.

Furthermore, John Sununu’s relationship with the known Epstein associate Dean Kamen deserves the same scrutiny.

Dean Kamen is mentioned in the Epstein files hundreds of times. Several organizations in New Hampshire have already taken appropriate steps to remove Kamen from their boards.

Accountability demands that we understand Kamen’s role in New Hampshire politics. Over the years, Kamen donated money to and endorsed both Republican and Democratic candidates, including John Sununu and Chris Pappas.

The ultra-rich use their money to buy access and influence in New Hampshire and in Washington, and often act as if they are above the law. That is what the Epstein files suggest, and it is why I am demanding accountability along with the release of unredacted files and survivors’ statements to the FBI.

Whether it is Dean Kamen, Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick, or John Sununu, names that appear in the Epstein files must be fully investigated, regardless of their wealth or power.

For too long, powerful political dynasties and members of the Epstein class have been shielded from scrutiny, while survivors and the public are asked to accept denials and political silence.

It is time for justice for survivors, with accountability for criminals and anyone complicit in their crimes.

Sununu must immediately drop out of the U.S. Senate race. Congress must subpoena him and require him to testify under oath about his alleged relationship with a convicted sex offender. The “good stories” reference must be fully investigated. If there is evidence of criminal conduct, Sununu must be prosecuted.

Justice for survivors means transparency and consequences. Enough is enough. Nobody should be above the law.
