Welcome to the NewsHour. New questions continue to emerge today over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

One Democratic Congressman went to the House floor today to read the names of six wealthy, powerful men whose identities were shielded in the public release of the Epstein files.

Congressman Roe Kana is the co-sponsor of the Epstein Transparency Act.

He reviewed some of the unredacted files at the Justice Department yesterday, and he joins us now.

Thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. You have raised concerns about redactions,

even in the so-called unredacted files, what specific categories of material are still being

withheld? And what do you think accounts for it? Donald Trump's FBI scraped these documents in

March. And the thing that they took out were survivors' statements to FBI agents about rich and powerful men who raped

them or committed heinous acts. And then those documents from the FBI were sent to the Department

of Justice in a redacted form. They were already scrubbed. We need those documents to be unscrub.

That's what the American people want to know. All of the rich

and powerful men, many of them who raped these girls, are in those FBI statements, and those

statements are still redacted. As we said, you read the names of six men you believe are likely

incriminated. How do you differentiate between individuals who were mentioned in the files

versus those who are complicit in Epstein's criminal conduct?

It's a very important distinction. There are many people who are mentioned who may be totally

innocent, and this should not be a witch hunt. But the names that I read were listed as co-conspirators on documents.

And the reality is the Justice Department acknowledged that their identity should not have been

redacted. And I just thought it was important for someone to step up and say, I'm going to hold these elite, powerful men accountable.

I mean, there has been no accountability in the United States. In Britain, the British monarchy

is in trouble. The British government may fall. The Norwegian princess may not become queen.

Other countries are having total investigations of anyone who even shared emails
