Watch live: Jeffrey Epstein victims and lawmakers hold press conference

On Capitol Hill, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network stood shoulder to shoulder with lawmakers from both parties in a press conference that could shift the balance on the long-stalled Epstein Files Transparency Act. The event, described by members as one of the largest bipartisan gatherings in years, carried a clear and urgent demand: release the files, name the names, and deliver long-denied justice to survivors.

Led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the bipartisan discharge petition sits at 212 Democratic signatures and four Republican ones—just two short of forcing the bill to the House floor. Survivors, including Virginia Giuffre’s family, issued emotional appeals for lawmakers to step up, warning that each day of delay shields predators and deepens survivors’ wounds.

Lawmakers echoed that urgency. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called it a moral test beyond politics, insisting that justice for trafficking victims should unite all sides. Rep. Massie framed it as a fight against entrenched corruption, while Rep. Khanna said survivors’ courage should compel action.

The press conference underscored a rare moment of unity in Washington: survivors and lawmakers demanding that truth finally prevail over secrecy and power.
