On the House floor today, congressman Ro Khanna named the six high-profile men that are included in the unredacted version of the documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

Khanna named, US businessman Leslie Wexner of Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch and Bath & Body Works fame; Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem; and Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.

“If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3m files,” Khanna said. “Why are they protecting these rich and powerful men? People I call part of the ‘Epstein class’. Why are we in a country where there is no elite accountability for people who do the most heinous things?”

    The real question to ask is what did these guys do to get their names redacted in the first place. Lots of people’s names were not redacted and these guys were clearly not victims. So who got paid to take their names out?

    This right here SHOULD be a bigger scandal than Watergate. Its obvious that someone broke the law and its pretty obvious that the people who broke the law were elected officials and that they did it for money. That is a slam dunk for any functioning government to remove people from office. Instead its just furrowed brows all around.
