Congressman Ro Khanna / File Photo
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna revealed six names that were previously redacted from the Epstein files on Feb. 10. The revelation came during a floor speech after visiting the Department of Justice, where he and Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, spent two hours reviewing unredacted documents.
Khanna publicly claimed to have seen the names of Leslie Wexner, the Victoria’s Secret founder; Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World and an Emirati billionaire businessman; and four others identified as Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze and Leonic Leonov.

While Khanna did not provide further details of their involvement with Epstein, he used the names to highlight the extent of the issue, saying, “If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”
A visibly irate Khanna also lambasted the Justice Department for failing to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He, along with Rep. Thomas Massie, co-sponsored the bill and said, “The Epstein Transparency Act requires them to unredact those FBI files, and yet the Justice Department said to me and to Congressman Massie, ‘We just uploaded whatever the FBI sent us.’ And guess what? The FBI sent scrubbed files.”
Khanna continued, “That means the survivor statement to the FBI naming rich and powerful men who went to Epstein’s Island, who went to his ranch, who went to his home and raped and abused underage girls or saw underage girls being paraded, they were all hidden. They were all redacted. It’s a little bit of a farce.”
