Rep. Ro Khanna Releases Names of 6 Alleged Epstein Files Associates
Rep. Thomas Massie said the men were "likely incriminated."
Rep. Ro Khanna (D–Calif.) took to the House floor on Tuesday and listed the names of six "wealthy, powerful" individuals who appeared in the Epstein files. The names of these six people were wrongfully redacted, Khanna argued.
Moreover, Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), who has led the charge to release the Epstein files alongside Khanna, said these men were "likely incriminated." Massie and Khanna learned their names after perusing the unredacted files, which were made available only to members of Congress.
According to Khanna, the six are Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, and Leslie Wexner.

What the congressmen mean when they say "likely incriminated" is unclear. The release of 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents, files, emails, and investigative reports two weeks ago has caused a reckoning for many elite figures who continued to associate with Jeffrey Epstein even after he was convicted of sexual misconduct; these include Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Noam Chomsky, and others. The scandal has sent shockwaves through British politics, with former ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson resigning from the Labour Party and the House of Lords as a result of his relationship with Epstein. In the U.S., Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whose encounters with Epstein were more significant than previously known, is also under scrutiny.
But none of these figures have been accused of criminal wrongdoing, let alone the kinds of serious sexual crimes that brought down Epstein himself. It was widely believed that the Epstein files would reveal that Epstein trafficked underage girls to global elites—that there was such a thing as a list of clients for whom Epstein procured victims. This belief finds no support in the files released to the public as of yet.
I discussed all the latest Epstein files news with Amber Duke and Niall Stanage on Free Media this week.

Is this actually something important? Or just more democrat anti Trump bullshit? I’m really not inclined to expend any time looking into this without ,ore than Ro Khanna’s and Reason’s assurances.
(First, but not Fist)
What MAGAs get upset over:
Legal immigration
Protesting
Vaccinations
LGBT
Spanish music
Green energy
Following the Constitution
What MAGAs don't get upset over:
Child sexual abuse
Yup. Outraged over made up pedo rings at a pizza joint, bored to death over a real pedo ring involving wealthy elites around the world, including some of their own.
Contradicts Molly's claim, says yep.
So far all the underage proof is with democrats buddy.
Ironically you mention pizza as a conspiracy but ignore all the mentions of pizza as code words. You can't even investigate your retarded narratives sarc lol.
They're so fucking stupid.
Vide supra.
I know you are but what am I.
Looks like your side are the pedos, motherfucker.

You can out stupid Molly, I believe in you!
You are hopelessly dishonest. The release of these millions of documents contains no evidence at all of a "pedo ring involving wealthy elites around the world". You are just a stone liar.
Are you fully retarded, Molly?
https://x.com/esrtweet/status/2021215850582208901?s=20
Poor mollysarc. Contradicted by reality again.
Are you kidding, you stupid pinko faggot? We’re the ones keeping you people from raping children at will. You're the ones who just low statutory rape from a felony to a misdemeanor in California, amd you’re the ones who fight any attempts to prevent child grooming and mutilations in schools.
You’re also the ones trying to cover this up……
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2026/02/10/video-high-school-wrestler-says-she-was-sexually-assaulted-by-trans-opponent-during-match/
FTA:
female high school wrestler is accusing a transgender opponent of trying to push his fingers into her vagina during an official wrestling match in Washington State.
Kallie Keeler, 16, a sophomore wrestler at Rogers High School in Puyallup, Washington, claims that the assault occurred during a December 6 girls wrestling match against Emerald Ridge High School.
The teen says that when she was on the mat, face down, and her opponent — who is a male who identifies as female — was on top of her. Keeler says her opponent put his hand between her legs and then began trying to push his fingers into her vagina, “Undivided” host Brandi Kruse reported.
Of course, your democrat pals are trying to cover this up. But oops, now there’s a criminal investigation. So really, fuck off back to Beijing, you ChiCom groomer.
TDS sheep don't care about pedophile cover ups that sat on democrat desks for decades.
Preparing yourself mentally for that Ghislaine pardon I see.
Poor sarc. So far it is your team that has been hit. Bet you even missed the 2006 police report. Less maddow more education buddy.
I doubt that will come to pass.

There's more.

"Which is why Barack Obama created the Deep State,"
Ok this is a bit much.
More like the Deep State created Obama
Yeah, the Deep State in it's current incarnation was called out as early as Eisenhower and coalesced at least as early as FDR. Obama just openly weaponized it to much rejoicing.
Reason missed he voted against censure of democrats in tbe epstein files somehow.
So as long as you're a powerful globalist and speak in a barely concealing but highly whacked out code then "journalist" Robby has not the slightest bit desire to put anything together that does not come prepackaged by those globalists with his monthly allotment of jerkey.
It was widely believed that the Epstein files would reveal that Epstein trafficked underage girls to global elites—that there was such a thing as a list of clients for whom Epstein procured victims. This belief finds no support in the files released to the public as of yet.
So what. The law as written is the law that the DoJ and FBI should be executing. DoJ and FBI have already said they aren't going to be filing any charges for anything - but ffs be an investigative journalist. Obviously child sex stuff is serious - but so is blackmail, espionage, money laundering, corruption of government, and even free association of a bunch of amoral supremacists/eugenics with the power to create (and evidence that they have done just that) a world where pedophilia is ok as long as media is there to keep it quiet.
FFS - one of these names is talking about a torture video. You think that's ok to redact - contrary to the law as it was passed? Well apparently of course you do. As does Reason no surprise there.
"a world where pedophilia is ok"... You mean Ephebophilia and in most of the world Ephebophilia is legal. Look up the age of consent in South America, Europe, and Asia. Most countries are 14 or 15.
I'm not sure the point of this argument. Seems a distinction without a difference to me.
I mean, are we all supposed to say "Well, 15 year olds are fair game in Ecuador, so what the hell. Old enough to pee, old enough for me, just like Elvis and Jerry Lee!"
I might be missing context, as it's a response to a greybar troll, but it sure feels like the NAMBLA argument to me.
A "pedophile" is someone attracted to sexually immature children.
The correct term for people who are attracted to sexually mature teenagers is "men".
Sex between young adolescents and adult men ought to be prohibited, but let's not flatter ourselves by claiming such attraction is abnormal.
"The correct term for people who are attracted to sexually mature teenagers is "men".
You mean sexually mature female teens, don't you? Or are you saying that the attraction of "men" to sexually mature male teens is also normal?
"but let's not flatter ourselves by claiming such attraction is abnormal."
It's the acting on the attraction that is abnormal and criminal. My advice: don't try it unless you're a billionaire.
the attraction of "men" to sexually mature male teens is also normal?
Yes.
You've defined pedophile. Now define normal.
I shan't improve on the dictionary.
Democrats refuse to give kiddie rapist illegals to ICE, so Democrats, CLEARLY, are not opposed to pedophilia.
The only thing I want to know is if Bad Bunny is in the files.
He would have been a minor.
Shrike and Jeffy approve.
Sex abuse of boys in the entertainment business is well-documented in Puerto Rico.
As Robby points it's not clear what crimes these guys are accused of and their names were intentionally announced on the house floor so the reps could avoid being sued because they are protected by the speech and debate clause. And because lots of people continue to believe that everyone associated with Epstein is a pedophile that's the label they'll end up with right or wrong. These guys probably have committed crimes and if the government has evidence and jurisdiction the DOJ should prosecute. But this is just political grandstanding.
The Epstein files were a trap. The Admin allowed the Dems to bray for their release, so that when they were finally released the Dems could not cry foul when the reality that Trump was an informant that eventually lead to the ring being exposed, disbanded, and prosecuted. Now they are caught as accomplices with Trump in an unassailable position as one who helped take it all down.
The tears are so delicious.
"Trump in an unassailable position as one who helped take it all down."
Maybe not so unassailable. Informants often make a deal to ensure immunity for any crimes they have committed in exchange for the information they have offered. Did Trump have such a deal? If he did, he may be safe from prosecution but the optics are bad. If he didn't, his position may not be as unassailable as you'd like it to be.
The police chief said Trump did not even require a subpoena to give all info he had against Epstein.
There is literally no evidence that Trump was anything but opposed to Epstein. And Epstein loathed him.
"The police chief said Trump did not even require a subpoena to give all info he had against Epstein."
So, no immunity deal? Yikes!
Khanna knew and did nothing until now.
All the poof needed Dems covered up tying to use Epstein to destroy Tump
Dems should have used Epstein files to embarrass Trump and make that info public. Because what is likely is that Trump is now being blackmailed and the DoJ/FBI is being used to suppress that info (and a lot more). By Israel - to start a war against Iran - not in American interest - starting in a week or so.
And the reason the Ds didn't expose that is because they too have info that they want suppressed.
How would they embarrass him, dumbass, when the files demonstrate that Trump was the one who called police on Epstein?
Shame Trump is the only major person who ever testified against Epstein.
Maybe it would have been better for him to 'let sleeping dogs lie.' That's the conclusion reached by the rest of Epstein's associates, including some of the sharpest minds in the country, if not world.
Khanna opposed forcing the Clintons to honor a subpoena about the files.
This is a political show. Nothing more.
Bingo!!! Thank you. You said in 19 words all that needs to be said here.
Let's all move on to the next one now... oh wait, there's now TWO more articles on this very topic! (and I'm sure they are right up there with the usual Reasonista standards of propaganda)
The corruption is not one sided in the Democrats vs Republicans sense, however it is one sided in the Uni-Party (Democrats and Republicans) sense.
It's obvious that there is a lot of corruption and it should be investigated and if deemed credible, prosecuted.
