CNN contributor Scott Jennings has blasted Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie for teasing Epstein revelations without delivering the goods, demanding they use their congressional immunity to name names publicly.
As the Epstein files saga drags on with endless redactions and excuses, Jennings cut through the fog, exposing how politicians are playing games while Americans demand full transparency on the elite predators.
During a segment on CNN’s “The Arena,” Jennings zeroed in on lawmakers who claim to have uncovered key names in the massive Epstein document trove but refuse to go public.
This cuts straight through the Epstein noise.

Scott Jennings said the quiet part out loud — if members of Congress claim they have names, then why aren’t they saying them?
He took aim directly at Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie.

“There are people here who can go down to the House floor more or go out into the public domain and say, here are the men who need to be investigated,” Jennings stated.
“That’s where I think most Americans are,” he added.
He pressed further: “Why can’t we just skip to the part where the people who have the information say out loud, this person did this thing to me, and this is a crime?”
When host Kasie Hunt tried to defend the delays, suggesting “in a lot of cases they’re not allowed to because they’re bound—,” Jennings shut it down.
“Members of Congress can go down to the House floor and say anything they want,” he countered.
“And there are members of Congress who have claimed — Ro Khanna is one, Thomas Massie is one — they have claimed to have names.”
“And I don’t know why we’re not actually seeing that right now to be honest with you.”
This callout echoes the frustration building around the Epstein files, where the Department of Justice has slow-walked releases despite congressional mandates like the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Khanna himself described the cumbersome process of reviewing the 3 million files, admitting limited access but claiming to have found redacted names that shouldn’t be hidden. Yet, as Jennings points out, no full disclosures have followed.
In that earlier appearance on “The Arena,” Khanna told Hunt: “It’s sad that members of Congress are having to do this… We have the document. We have a Bates number. We put in the Bates number.”
He added that he and Massie uncovered “six men whose names had been redacted, that shouldn’t have been redacted, that were named as co-conspirators.”
Khanna went on the House floor to read those names, leading to their release, but insisted “there are still too many people in the FBI files that were redacted… The American people deserve to know who the rich and powerful people were, who were on the Epstein Island and either raped these underage girls or saw them being paraded naked.”
Despite these boasts, the broader Epstein network remains shrouded, fueling suspicions of protection for high-profile figures.
Venture capitalist David Sacks recently exposed The New York Times for shielding LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a major Democrat donor mentioned over 2,600 times in the files.
Sacks slammed the Times for ignoring Hoffman’s stays at Epstein’s island, townhouse, and New Mexico ranch, while targeting right-leaning tech figures.
“The number-one person in the Epstein files from Silicon Valley which is Reid Hoffman… stayed at the trifecta which is not just the island but the townhouse and the New Mexico ranch,” Sacks said on the All-In Podcast.
He accused the paper of bias: “The New York Times clearly has a list of people they consider approved targets. They are all right coded people like Elon or Peter Thiel.”
As emails reveal Hoffman’s ongoing ties to Epstein post-conviction, including discussions of visits and deals, the lack of accountability highlights institutional rot.
The Epstein scandal reveals how power elites on both sides evade justice, but with voices like Jennings amplifying the call for transparency, the walls protecting them are cracking.
