under this transparency law and doesn't really accord with what the Justice Department said was its commitment to protecting people who've accused Jeffrey Epstein and are at least potential victims.
So Pam Bondi experienced a lot of heat on this topic.
She basically defended the department's record.
There were two especially prominent names that came out in that list.
One was Les Wexner.
He's a former CEO of Victoria's Secret.
He has been known to have had a long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, even though there's some mystery surrounding that relationship.
It definitely was financial in part.
And then there was a prominent businessman.
His name is Sultan Ahmed bin Sulaim.
He's a businessman, an Emirati businessman from Dubai.
And his name was released as one of those six men.
And he has been connected to an email exchange he had with Jeffrey Epstein about a so-called torture video.
So basically, Congressman Thomas Massey, a Republican from Kentucky, and Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, have banded together saying that in just a short amount of time, a couple hours looking at unredacted files on Justice Department computers.
They could find these six names of men who the names were redacted when the transparency law was not supposed to shield those types of people, at least according to the congressmen, who were the ones who were lead sponsors of the transparency law.
And they say, if we could find this in two hours, what does that say for what else might have been shielded from the American people?
And all these redactions across more than three million pages of documents.
When it comes to the two men, Les Wexner has previously spoken up about Jeffrey Epstein a little bit.
A representative of his once said that a prosecutor, a federal prosecutor, had told him that he's not a target of an investigation.
And basically he had provided some information about his background with Jeffrey Epstein.
