Epstein Survivors Press DOJ to Release Files as House Petition Falls Two Signatures Short

Survivors warn they may publish alleged abusers if officials withhold records.

Overview

  • Survivors spoke outside the Capitol urging the Justice Department to make all remaining Epstein materials public.
  • A bipartisan petition to force a House vote is two signatures shy of a majority, with backers including Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • The White House discouraged Republicans from signing, calling it an "act hostile" to the administration, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaled he would block a vote.
  • President Trump labeled the disclosure push "a Democratic hoax" and noted that tens of thousands of pages are already public, including more than 30,000 released by House Oversight.
  • Advocates said they are ready to release a list of names if the DOJ withholds further files, and survivors including Anouska de Georgiou and Marina Lacerda challenged the president to help.
