AI Summary

long article 4 min

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie pushed the Justice Department to unredact names in Jeffrey Epstein-related files. Khanna then read six names on the House floor, claiming they were "wealthy, powerful men" hidden by the DOJ. However, the DOJ clarified that four of those men had no connection to Epstein and were included in a photo lineup assembled by the Southern District of New York for investigative purposes. Khanna expressed frustration that the DOJ didn't initially explain the photo lineup connection. Two of the names mentioned were Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem and Leslie Wexner. The Guardian spoke with two of the men named, who denied knowing Epstein and acknowledged past arrests that could explain their inclusion in the lineup.
