Ro Khanna, a US congressman from California, recently named six men linked to Jeffrey Epstein. This includes Leslie Wexner, the founder of Victoria’s Secret, who was flagged by the FBI as a potential co-conspirator.
During his speech on the House floor, Khanna shared the names after reviewing documents at the Department of Justice with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie. While he revealed the identities, Khanna did not accuse anyone of wrongdoing, as none of the men have been charged with crimes related to Epstein.
“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,” he pointed out. He noted that many files still remain redacted.
Epstein previously pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor and served a short sentence. He died in 2019 in a New York jail, facing serious charges regarding sex trafficking. Being mentioned in these files does not necessarily imply guilt; connections could arise from basic correspondence or records involving Epstein.
The Six Unredacted Names
Leslie “Les” Wexner: At 88, Wexner built a retail giant that encompasses Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch. He had a long-standing financial relationship with Epstein, who managed his investments. A recent article by the New York Times indicates that Wexner played a significant role in elevating Epstein’s financial status.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem: The CEO of DP World, which operates in over 80 countries, he is also related to the head of the FIA, overseeing global motorsports. Emails released show Sulayem had personal exchanges with Epstein, including comments about encounters with women, indicating a troubling familiarity with Epstein’s lifestyle.
Nicola Caputo: An Italian politician who served in the European Parliament, there’s little verified evidence connecting him to Epstein. Media outlets have not confirmed any direct link.
Salvatore Nuara: Details about Nuara and his connection to Epstein remain unclear.
Zurab Mikeladze: His identity and ties to Epstein are also unknown.
Leonic Leonov: Like Mikeladze, there’s currently no information available on his connection to Epstein.
Insights and Reactions
The revelations sparked discussions on social media, where users expressed outrage and skepticism over the ongoing secrecy surrounding Epstein’s connections. Many reflect on how these names have reignited questions about accountability and transparency in powerful circles.
As of now, experts in finance and law argue that solely being named does not imply guilt, but it raises important concerns regarding who else might be implicated in Epstein’s activities.
With the conversation about Epstein and his associates ongoing, the push for more unredacted documents continues. The public is eager to see how this will unfold and whether more significant figures will emerge.
