The Democratic congressman Ro Khanna read out the names of six wealthy men included in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
In a post on X at lunchtime, Khanna, of California, named the six as Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Leslie Wexner. He said he and his Republican colleague Thomas Massie had forced the Department of Justice to disclose the ‘hidden’ names.
Reading the names in the House of Representatives, Khanna availed himself of protection from any defamation lawsuit by the speech and debate clause of the US constitution.
