Congressmen name six wealthy men ‘likely incriminated’ in Epstein files

Democrat Ro Khanna reveals six men's names in Epstein files – videoCongressmen name six wealthy men ‘likely incriminated’ in Epstein filesDemocrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie reveal names they say DoJ redacted ‘for no apparent reason’ US politics live – latest updates The Democratic congressman Ro Khanna said on Tuesday that he and his Republican colleague Thomas Massie had forced the justice department to disclose the “hidden” names of six wealthy men they say are “likely incriminated” by their inclusion in the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files. In a post on X at lunchtime, Khanna, of California, named the six as Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Leslie Wexner. Wexner is the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret. His extensive ties to Epstein – the late convicted sex offender and disgraced financier – were exposed in a lengthy New York Times investigation in November. Bin Sulayem is a billionaire businessman and real estate developer from Dubai – and brother of Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the head of FIA, the body that governs the world’s motorsport championships, including the prestigious Formula One series. Email exchanges between Bin Sulayem and Epstein have been previously reported. Attached to the post was a video clip of Khanna reading the names in the House, availing himself of protection from any defamation lawsuit by the speech and debate clause of the US constitution. Khanna and Massie, of Kentucky, spent two hours at the justice department building in Washington DC on Monday viewing unredacted versions of the documents relating to Epstein. The pair were co-sponsors of the Jeffrey Epstein Transparency Act that forced Donald Trump’s administration to publish its vast trove of documents into the connections and activities of the president’s former friend. Democrats have joined the pair in claiming that there are still 3m pages locked away after the Trump administration called the matter closed with the release of 3m documents in January.

Key Highlights

  • The papers that were released, Democrats also argue, contained numerous unexplained redactions.“There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DoJ hid for no apparent reason,” Khanna said, claiming that he and Massie had “forced” the department to unredact their names.“Why did it take Thomas Massie and me going to the justice department to get these six men’s identities to become public?
  • If we found six men they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those … files.”Massie said on Monday night that he was ready to name the six in Congress if needed.
  • “What I saw that bothered me were the names of at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files,” he said. Republican calls on Trump ally Howard Lutnick to quit cabinet over Epstein filesRead moreEpstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring a minor for prostitution and served 13 months in prison.
  • Investigators determined he killed himself in jail in Manhattan in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking of children. The ensuing scandal has enveloped countless rich and powerful individuals and thrown a long shadow over Trump’s second presidency, which Democrats have attempted to leverage. On Tuesday, theSenate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, appeared with a small group of Epstein survivors in Washington to announce a law which seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain sexual offenses.“The bill exists because people refuse to accept silence as the end of the story,” Schumer said.
  • “It’s that simple.”Schumer said the bill was named in honor of Virginia Giuffre, one of the most vocal Epstein survivors who died by suicide in April 2025.“Justice should not expire, because for survivors healing does not run on a government clock,” he said.
