Nancy Mace Leaves Epstein Survivors’ Briefing in Tears, Citing Panic Attack

The briefing underscored an inquiry now fueled by new DOJ records alongside bipartisan pressure for broader public disclosure.

Overview

  • Rep. Nancy Mace left a closed-door House Oversight session with Jeffrey Epstein accusers early, later saying on X she had a “full blown panic attack” with sweating, hyperventilating and shaking.
  • Six accusers met privately with Oversight members, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Chairman James Comer, as the committee examines the federal handling of the Epstein case.
  • The Department of Justice has begun turning over subpoenaed records, and the committee has released a large trove of files while pressing for additional material.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters it was important to hear directly from victims and pledged maximum transparency in pursuing accountability.
  • Lawmakers are pushing to force broader public release of government files through a discharge petition co-led by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, and Mace has signed on to the effort.
