Podcaster Joe Rogan went off this week over the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein files amid findings that the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has been redacting the names of potential participants in Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the DOJ unredacted the names of six men, who appeared to be implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files, after Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) discovered that their names had been redacted. Khanna later revealed the names on the House Floor on Tuesday after the Department unredacted their names as Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Leslie Wexner. Two of the men, including former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, turned out to be implicated, and the other four were later revealed to be random people from an FBI photo lineup.
Les Wexner was listed as a coconspirator of Epstein’s, and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was revealed in a disturbing email, where Epstein wrote to him, “I loved the torture video.” Bin Sulayem later resigned from his role at Dubai port giant DP World on Friday amid fallout from his name being revealed in the likely nefarious communications, The Gateway Pundit reported.
While it’s fair that redactions were made for random individuals in an FBI photo lineup, the Department of Justice has provided no explanation for why the names of implicated individuals were redacted.
“The whole thing is crazy because, like, why, why have you protected people?” Rogan, who interviewed Trump in 2024 and endorsed him for President, said of the move to redacted names and the Trump Administration’s overall handling of the Epstein files, before pointing to the emails, involving Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, about a “torture video.”
“What the f*ck, man? And why is his name redacted? Why would your name be redacted if you’re not a victim?”
Rogan further noted that “none of this is good” for the Trump Administration. “It looks f*cking terrible. It looks terrible. It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying that none of this was real, this is all a hoax,” he said.
“This is not a hoax. Like, did you not know? Maybe he didn’t know, if you want to be charitable, but this is definitely not a hoax.”

Rogan: The whole thing is crazy because, like, why, why have you protected people? So, we know Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem sent the torture video to Epstein. This is in 2009. So, Epstein was saying that. “Where are you? Are you Okay? I loved the torture video.” Geez. I” am in China. I’ll be in the US second week of May.”
What the f*ck man? And why is his name redacted? Why would your name be redacted if you’re not a victim? Like, this is what’s crazy about all this. Like, how come you redact some people and you don’t redact other people? Like, what is this? This is not good. None of this is good for this administration. It looks f*cking terrible. It looks terrible. It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying that none of this was real, this is all a hoax. This is not a hoax. Like did you not know? Maybe he didn’t know, if you want to be charitable, but this is definitely not a hoax.
And if you’ve got redacted people’s names and these people aren’t victims, you’re not protecting the victims. So what are you doing? And how come all this sh*t is not released?
As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Thursday, it was discovered that the Department of Justice also redacted the name of a candidate for office who was in contact with Epstein about visiting Epstein’s private island.
It is speculated, though unconfirmed, that the individual is former Congressional candidate Gwendolyn Beck, who received donations from Jeffrey Epstein and was previously accused by the late-Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre of participating in orgies with Epstein and underage girls.
However, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche claims that the still-unidentified politician was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein.
