In a bold move that’s shaking up the tech world, U.S. Representative Ro Khanna is demanding accountability for powerful men potentially connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious sex trafficking operation. During a recent House floor speech, Khanna revealed six previously redacted names from recently released court documents, challenging the Justice Department’s continued protection of elite individuals.

Khanna, representing Silicon Valley, didn’t mince words about the systemic cover-up. “People are tired of rich and powerful people thinking they’re above the law,” he stated, highlighting the public’s growing frustration with seemingly untouchable tech and business moguls.

The congressman, alongside Republican Representative Thomas Massie, pushed through the Epstein Files Transparency Act, forcing the release of documents that had been intentionally obscured. Despite their efforts, 70% to 80% of the files remain redacted, raising serious questions about who exactly is being shielded.

Among the named individuals are billionaire Les Wexner, known for building Victoria’s Secret, and Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. Other named individuals include Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.

The revelations extend beyond these six names. High-profile tech figures like LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman and Tesla’s Elon Musk have been previously linked to Epstein, with documented communications that suggest proximity to his notorious network.

Khanna is calling for comprehensive investigations, demanding that anyone who visited Epstein’s island or maintained connections after his 2008 conviction be brought before Congress and questioned under oath. His message is clear: no amount of wealth or influence should protect potential perpetrators of sexual abuse.

The congressman emphasized the moral imperative, asking a critical question that resonates with many: “Are we going to give a pass to people if they’re rich and powerful enough, if they had the terrible judgment of having business relationships with Epstein after he was a convicted pedophile?”

As the investigation continues, Khanna’s commitment to transparency offers a glimmer of hope for survivors and those seeking justice in a system often skewed to protect the privileged.
