Who is UAE billionaire in the Epstein files? | MEE Live

US Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the justice department (or DOJ)’s handling of the Epstein Files during a congressional hearing on Wednesday. It descended into a shouting match. At the heart of the dispute was the DOJ’s extensive and often erroneous redactions in the 3 million Epstein Files released last month– and their decision to withhold three million more. On Monday, three US lawmakers were given access to unredacted files for the first time. They left with searing criticisms about what had been redacted. Specifically, the identities of powerful men. “If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours,” Khanna said in a speech to the House of Representatives on Tuesday, “imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files.” Later on in the show we’ll be speaking to survivor advocate Janey Starling about what the files spell out about gender justice. First, MEE has been looking into one of the “six men” mentioned. An Emirati billionaire linked to the highest levels of the UAE state. After seeing the unredacted files, Republican congressman Thomas Massie wrote on X: “Until tonight no one knew who sent the torture video to Epstein… our law requires VICTIM’s information to be redacted, not information of men who sent Epstein torture porn!” “The torture video” he refers to was a cause for disturbance after the original release included an email sent from Epstein in 2009 saying “he loved the torture video”. The recipient had been redacted. Massie claims the sender of the torture video was Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. It’s a name that comes up in the Epstein files more than 5,000 times. The material does not demonstrate criminal wrongdoing and Sulayem has not been charged with a crime. But it is enough to cause serious potential problems not just for Sulayem himself, but one of the biggest cargo companies in the world– as well as the United Arab Emirates.
