Alleged Epstein co-conspirators named on House floor as lawmaker overrides redactions
An animated Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) took to the House floor Tuesday to publicly reveal the names of six “powerful men” alleged to be co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein, reading their names as a matter of public record.
“There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason!” said Khanna, who alongside Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) had filed the bill that ultimately forced the DOJ to release its files on Epstein. “When Congressman Massie and I pointed this out to the DOJ, they acknowledged their mistake, and now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men.”
Both Khanna and Massie alleged on Monday that the DOJ was actively protecting the identities of the aforementioned six men, who were identified in a DOJ document as potential co-conspirators of Epstein’s. Their pressure on the DOJ, Khanna said, ultimately forced the agency to un-redact the alleged co-conspirators’ identities, prompting even more questions from the California lawmaker.
“My question is, why did it take Thomas and Massie and I going to the Justice Department to get these six men's identities to become public?” Khanna said. “And if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files!”
