A Congresswoman has claimed that some unredacted names in the Jeffrey Epstein list would ‘shock the world’ if they knew.
This is right off the back of Democrat Representative Ro Khanna reading out the names of six people who had been previously redacted in the Epstein files.
The Democratic representative of California said the names during a floor speech on Tuesday after visiting the Department of Justice, where he and Thomas Massie, spent two hours looking through the files.

The six men named by Khanna are Leslie Wexner, the Victoria’s Secret founder, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World, Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze and Leonic Leonov.
Now, Congresswoman Nancy Mace says she has her own list of people who were found to be redacted, and she wants to understand why.
“I took a lot of notes. I saw a lot of names,” she said during Katie Pavlich Tonight on Tuesday.
“I wanted to look at the documents of the people who have not been arrested or investigated. A lot of that information is still redacted.”
Mace stated she found names of women who were possible co-conspirators with Epstein, and may have been providing women to him.
She said they were ‘adult women who were recruiting young women and potentially underage individuals to give to Jeffrey Epstein,’ adding: “Really disgusting behavior.
"These are people that I want to have brought in, tesitfy and answer some very tough questions.”
“I’m very concerned as a survivor about protecting the personal information, the names of underage children of some of these women that was put out in the public," Mace went on to explain. "And it’s also, it’s shaming. It’s victim shaming."
While she says that not all people she recognized in the files had evidence against them of wrongdoing, there are questions being raised about their association with Epstein.
She said: “I saw some names in there, people that I had no idea would be in the files, who were scheduling lunch or meetings with a convicted pedophile. Didn’t do anything wrong, but certainly you question, ‘Wow, why are all these people, rich and powerful and famous, Hollywood, et cetera, doing this?'”
Attorney General Pam Bondi's appearance before US lawmakers today also led to her and Massie arguing over the redacted names, which she claims was corrected within 20 minutes.
To that, she was told that it was fixed because she was ‘caught’ ‘red handed’.
