Survivors Speak Out, Pressure on Trump Admin for Epstein Documents

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse have gathered in Washington, D.C., urging Congress to release all documents related to the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.

Around 100 victims of Epstein's abuse and other survivors of sexual abuse attended a news conference organized by Congressmen Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Khanna is expected to discuss the Epstein Files Transparency Bill, stating that the public will be outraged as survivors speak out for the first time.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, released over 33,000 pages of documents related to Epstein after a subpoena to the Justice Department. Democrats noted that most of the material was already public.

Marina Lacerda, previously known as "minor victim one," called for transparency and the release of files to provide closure for victims and the American people. Despite having a list of names, survivors are hesitant to make it public due to fear of repercussions.

Survivor Lisa Phillips mentioned compiling a confidential list of individuals associated with Epstein, but survivors have no plans to make the list public to avoid retaliation.

Survivors expressed shock at Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a lower security prison camp in Texas. They emphasized Maxwell's active role in the abuse and her association with powerful individuals.

Calls for transparency regarding the Epstein Files have intensified, with survivors demanding more information and disclosure. Marina Lacerda, previously unnamed in the indictment, spoke out for the first time, urging the government to release documents to aid in their recovery.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene condemned those in power who shielded Epstein and his associates, stressing the importance of revealing the truth. She, along with other lawmakers, supports the release of the Epstein files to bring justice to the survivors.
