Congressman Ro Khanna said salvatore nuara was among six individuals whose identities had been redacted from records tied to investigations of Jeffrey Epstein, after he and Representative Thomas Massie reviewed less redacted files at the Department of Justice.
Khanna said the pair spent two hours at the Justice Department and identified the six names, which the department then acknowledged and revealed, according to Khanna’s floor remarks and reporting on the visit.
The six now unredacted names include Leslie Wexner, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Nicola Caputo, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov and Salvatore Nuara, as listed by Khanna during his speech and in subsequent coverage.
There is limited public information about Nuara in the released material, and the files cited in reporting say he previously served as a detective with the New York Police Department and was investigated in connection with an escort service, a probe not described as directly related to Epstein.
The reports note Nuara’s name also appears as a contact in Epstein’s so called little black book, while stressing that inclusion in the address directory does not by itself indicate criminal activity, and that no charges connected to Epstein were brought against Nuara based on the cited files.
Redactions Debate And Broader Names Revealed
Lawmakers and transparency advocates have questioned the scope of remaining redactions after the Justice Department published more than three million pages of records and related images and videos under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, as officials described.
Khanna and Massie accused the department of improperly withholding names, with Massie telling reporters he saw a list of roughly 20 individuals where many names remained redacted and saying the redactions appeared unjustified under the law.
Khanna asked on the House floor why the identities were not released sooner, saying that if two members could find six names in two hours, many more might be hidden among the millions of pages, according to his remarks.
The reporting also recounts longer public scrutiny of some figures, noting that the FBI appeared to have labeled Leslie Wexner as a co‑conspirator in the files, while noting that being named in the records does not establish criminal guilt.
The accounts say the Trump White House and the Justice Department initially resisted broad disclosure before the legislation, and that officials including the deputy attorney general stated the department was not attempting to protect named political figures as material was released.
