According to Khanna, a significant portion of the investigative files, about seventy to eighty percent, remains shrouded in secrecy. “There were six wealthy, powerful men that the Department of Justice has obscured without any apparent justification,” he noted.
The individuals on this mysterious list include two billionaires. However, it’s important to clarify that none of these people are accused of any criminal activity or have been charged with crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In the previous year, legislation was enacted mandating the Department of Justice to disclose all documents tied to their investigation of Epstein. Despite this requirement, much of the information continues to be withheld from the public eye.
Nobody on the list is accused of taking part in any specific criminal wrongdoing or implicated in any crimes. And none of them have been charged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
The legislation passed late last year required the Department of Justice to release all the files connected to their investigation of Epstein.
The department was permitted to redact the names of victims.
But the millions of documents released have also redacted the names of countless other people – including some seemingly connected to serious crimes.
Massie and Khanna were able to go to the department yesterday to read unredacted files from the investigation for two hours.
“If we found six men they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men there are covering up for in those three million files?” Khanna said.
Another congressman granted access to the Epstein files, Jamie Raskin, alleged that Trump’s name appeared in them “more than a million times”. Nine is not implying that appearing in the files is an indication of any criminal offence.
Trump has repeatedly stated Epstein was asked to leave Mar-a-Lago.
But the 2009 email exchange included Epstein denying the assertion.
At the time, Giuffre was a teenage masseuse working for Trump.
It was subsequently released in the Epstein files release.
The department told the BBC the date was merely a typo.
