Rep. Ro Khanna read aloud six names that he said had been redacted in Epstein-related files, after reviewing records with Rep. Thomas Massie. Khanna also alleged that the FBI had removed related files; a representative for Leslie Wexner disputed Khanna’s claim about Wexner’s status.
Khanna said he and Massie visited the Justice Department to review redacted files, then disclosed six names on the House floor. He alleged that the FBI had scrubbed Epstein-related files before the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law, and said records included survivor statements about men who visited Epstein’s properties and abused underage girls. A Justice Department response is not included in the article.
A legal representative for Wexner previously told The Associated Press that prosecutors had said Wexner was neither a coconspirator nor a target, and that he cooperated with investigators. The article cautions that being named in the files does not necessarily mean someone committed a crime or knew about Epstein’s criminal activity.

24 OUTLETSRo Khanna named six men while speaking on the House floor about Epstein-related files. The Justice Department later said four had no apparent connection to Epstein. Left-leaning outlets center the difference between Khanna’s characterization and the Justice Department’s account. Center outlets emphasize Khanna’s acknowledgment that four men were only in a photo lineup and were unconnected to Epstein’s crimes. Right-leaning outlets portray the naming as wrongful and emphasize potential harm to men described as unconnected, often criticizing Khanna’s response.
