Washington, D.C. — Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, has publicly disclosed the identities of six prominent figures he claims are potentially implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The announcement came during a speech on the House floor, where he accused the Department of Justice of concealing their names, which he described as “wealthy and powerful.”

Among those named are billionaire Les Wexner and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, a major Emirati businessman. Khanna’s revelation follows his recent criticism of the DOJ’s handling of documents related to Epstein, leading to a wider discussion about accountability among high-profile individuals associated with the late financier.

The other individuals mentioned alongside Wexner and bin Sulayem include Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo. No criminal charges have been filed against any of the six, and Khanna did not provide specific evidence to support his assertions of incrimination.

In his remarks, Khanna expressed frustration over the DOJ’s initial decision to redact names he believes should have been made public. “There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason,” Khanna stated. He claimed the department acknowledged their oversight only after he and Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky pressed for transparency.

The congressman underscored the importance of public scrutiny regarding Epstein and the systemic issues that allow influential individuals to avoid accountability. “If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in three million files,” Khanna noted, highlighting the potential severity of the situation.

Khanna and Massie previously co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated the release of various documents related to Epstein’s activities. During their review of the files, they asserted that certain names had been intentionally withheld from the public eye.

However, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche downplayed Khanna’s claims, emphasizing that the heavily redacted documents in question also referenced victims. He insisted the DOJ has maintained transparency and made relevant information available, noting that the names had appeared elsewhere in the document releases.

Wexner, a former head of L Brands and founder of Victoria’s Secret, has faced scrutiny due to his connections with Epstein. Internal DOJ records indicated that Wexner was among those under investigation before Epstein’s arrest in July 2019. His attorneys stated that the Wexners had severed financial ties with Epstein over a decade prior due to concerns over theft.

The backgrounds of the remaining names mentioned by Khanna, including Nuara, Mikeladze, Leonov, and Caputo, remain largely unknown, with little to no information available in the DOJ documents related to their involvement. Khanna refrained from alleging any wrongdoing against these individuals and provided no evidence to substantiate their claimed association with Epstein.

As investigations continue and public interest grows surrounding the Epstein case, the implications of these revelations remain significant for those in positions of power and influence.
