Rep. Khanna authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law last year, which has forced the release of millions of documents to hold the Epstein class accountable. He has worked closely with the survivors of Epstein’s abuse to expose the powerful elites who are being protected, including hosting press conferences on Capitol Hill where several survivors spoke publicly for the first time.

He has been outspoken in condemning the genocide in Gaza and has led the effort in Congress to recognize Palestinian statehood. He worked to secure the release of Americans on the Flotilla who were detained in Israel last year.
