A Congresswoman has suggested that there are unredacted names in the Jeffrey Epstein list that could potentially ‘shock the world’ if revealed.
This statement follows Democrat Representative Ro Khanna’s disclosure of six individuals who were previously unnamed in the Epstein documents.
During a floor speech on Tuesday, the Democratic representative from California read out the names after he and Thomas Massie spent time reviewing the files at the Department of Justice.
The individuals Khanna named include Leslie Wexner, founder of Victoria’s Secret, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World, Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, and Leonic Leonov.
In response, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has revealed that she has identified other redacted names and seeks to understand the reasons behind their concealment.
“I took a lot of notes. I saw a lot of names,” Mace declared during an appearance on Katie Pavlich Tonight on Tuesday.
“I wanted to examine the documents concerning individuals who have not faced arrest or investigation. Much of the information remains redacted.”
Mace indicated that she discovered names of women who might have worked with Epstein and were possibly recruiting for him.
She described these women as ‘adults who were recruiting young women and potentially minors for Jeffrey Epstein,’ and remarked: “Really disgusting behavior.”
“These are individuals I want to bring in for testimony and to answer difficult questions,” she emphasized.
Mace, as a survivor, expressed concern about protecting the identities of minors connected to some of these women, noting, “And it’s also, it’s shaming. It’s victim shaming.”
Although Mace acknowledged that not everyone she identified in the files was involved in illegal activities, questions about their connections to Epstein remain.
She noted: “I came across some names I never expected to find, individuals meeting or dining with a convicted pedophile. They might not have done anything wrong, but it raises questions about why so many prominent and influential people were associated with him.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s meeting with US lawmakers today also led to a debate with Massie over the redacted names, an issue she said was resolved quickly.
In response, she was told that the prompt fix was due to being ‘caught’ ‘red handed’.
