### Headline: Congress Wants to Name Names, But Who’s Really Pulling the Strings?
Rep. Ro Khanna decided to spice things up on the House floor by reading off the names of six “wealthy, powerful men” who were conveniently hidden in the Jeffrey Epstein files. This came after he and Rep. Thomas Massie managed to peel back some of the redactions in those documents and demanded the Justice Department cough up the identities if the redactions didn’t meet Congress’s standards.
So, what did the DOJ do? They eventually complied, but not without a little nudge from Khanna and Massie, who cleverly invoked the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause to protect themselves from any legal backlash. You know, just in case the powerful didn’t like being named.
But wait, there’s more! Khanna wasn’t about to let sleeping dogs lie. He questioned why it took their intervention to expose these six men. “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,” he mused. A fair point, but it also begs the question: why is it so easy for them to play hide and seek with names linked to Epstein?
And guess who’s in the spotlight? Leslie Wexner, the former owner of Victoria’s Secret, and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, a big shot at DP World. Wexner’s camp claims he was merely a source of information about Epstein, not a target. Because, of course, that makes it all better, right? Bin Sulayem’s team was too busy to comment, which is always a good sign.
The other names on the list? Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo. Good luck getting a peep out of them.
Khanna’s got a point about accountability, but he didn’t exactly present any evidence of wrongdoing against these men. Massie chimed in, reminding everyone that just because you’re in the Epstein files doesn’t mean you’re guilty—unless you’re Wexner, who was labeled a co-conspirator in a 2019 FBI document. Sounds plausible, right?
Here we are, with Congress playing detective while the DOJ plays dodgeball. As the layers peel back, one has to wonder: how many more names are lurking in those files, and why does it seem like the truth is always a few steps behind?
