Senator Ben Sasse appears in the Epstein files as a government oversight figure who led Congressional efforts to investigate the DOJ's handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal, not as someone connected to Epstein personally.
All 18 mentions relate to Sasse's role as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Oversight. The documents show his letters demanding DOJ investigations into prosecutorial misconduct, his statements after Epstein's death calling for accountability, and correspondence about the Office of Professional Responsibility's investigation. These are government oversight records, not evidence of any personal connection to Epstein.
