New names revealed in Epstein files as politicians face questions

A U.S. lawmaker, Ro Khanna, has publicly revealed the identities of six previously redacted individuals named in the Jeffrey Epstein-related court documents. The names are described as belonging to 'wealthy, powerful men,' though their specific alleged connections to Epstein were not detailed in the announcement.

In related political fallout, Trump's Commerce Secretary, Gary Lutnick, confirmed he had visited Epstein's private island, with President Trump expressing support for him. In India, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi referenced the files in parliament to question why a prominent businessman was not jailed, leading to a sharp rebuttal from a government minister.
