Billionaire businessman Les Wexner and Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem were among those named by the Democratic lawmaker on the House floor — less than 24 hours after he accused the Department of Justice of initially hiding their identities in the latest Epstein document dump.
The four others include Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.
The six men haven't been accused of any wrongdoing or charged over their apparent ties to the late convicted pedophile.
The congressman, who spent two hours reviewing the documents on Monday with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), offered up zero evidence of why the men's inclusion in the files could be seen as incriminating.
"Why did it take Thomas Massie and me... going to the Justice Department to get these six men's identities to become public? If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in three million files?" he continued.
The congressmen, who co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act that forced the release of the documents late last year, had earlier touted that they would reveal the names on the House floor, where their actions would be constitutionally protected from any lawsuits.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, for his part, insisted that one heavily redacted document referenced by the lawmakers had included the names of multiple victims.
Meanwhile, another file scrubbed Wexner's and bin Sulayem's names, but Blanche stressed the DOJ was "hiding nothing," since both names appeared elsewhere in the document dump.
Here is what we know about the six men.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the CEO of logistics conglomerate DP World, exchanged a slew of disturbing and sexually explicit messages with Epstein for more than a decade after the disgraced financier was convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution, according to the files.
In one email sent in September 2015, the powerful Dubai business exec bragged about a tryst with a foreign exchange student, writing: "She got engaged but now she's back with me ... The best sex I ever had, amazing body."
The correspondence also included sexual references, nude images, and graphic accounts of other encounters.

The business tycoon, instrumental in Dubai's rise as a global trade hub, was reportedly photographed on the island, and emails show him repeatedly planning visits there.
Bin Sulayem also helped Epstein secure Great St. James, his other Caribbean getaway.
When Epstein was barred from buying Great St. James due to his 2008 conviction, a Virgin Islands company owned by bin Sulayem bought the island in 2016, according to documents obtained by the outlet.
Additional emails also revealed bin Sulayem, heir to a powerful Emirati family with deep ties to Dubai's rulers, pushing Epstein's plans to develop the two islands into private resorts for his "customers and friends."
The industry titan leveraged state-backed projects to create a global empire in ports, logistics, real estate, hotels, and investments.
Les Wexner
Les Wexner, the longtime head of L Brands and founder of Victoria's Secret, was name-checked in internal Justice Department records as the FBI probed the case against Epstein, the files show.
He was among those the feds had strategized about issuing subpoenas just days before Epstein's July 2019 arrest.
At the time, Wexner's lawyers told investigators that neither he nor his wife had knowledge of Epstein's sexual misconduct. They added that although Epstein had managed the billionaire's financiers, they'd cut him off more than a decade earlier after learning he'd stolen from them.

Comment: More on Les Wexner:
"There is limited evidence regarding his involvement," one FBI agent wrote of Wexner in an email sent in August 2019.
The Post's efforts to reach both Wexner and bin Sulayem were unsuccessful.
The background of the four other men — Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo — remain unclear, and their names do not appear elsewhere in the DOJ files.
Khanna provided no evidence of wrongdoing against any of them.
I demand him exhumed from his mausoleum, questioned, and finally brought to justice !
