SITREP: Capitol Hill – Unity for Epstein Survivors and Transparency

Virginia Giuffre’s family issued a direct plea to lawmakers: sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act and bring justice into the open. They stressed that Congress is just two signatures short of forcing the bill to the House floor, urging members to stop hiding behind politics and give survivors the closure they deserve. Every day of delay, they warned, protects predators and re-traumatizes victims. Their message was simple but searing—put survivors first, not the powerful.

Situation:
On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network stood alongside lawmakers from both parties to demand full transparency on the so-called Epstein Files. The press conference, the largest some members of Congress have seen in years, brought together an unusual coalition—progressive Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna and conservative Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene—united under one cause: justice for survivors and accountability for the powerful.

WarRoom covered the press conference in full.  Quick Clip:

EPSTEIN VICTIMS ANNOUNCE THEY WILL RELEASE THEIR OWN LIST: "We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors and for survivors; no one else involved." pic.twitter.com/uzB0TptMQ3

Key Developments:

Bipartisan Discharge Petition: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) co-led a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They currently have 212 Democrats and 4 Republicans signed on—just two signatures short of bringing the bill to the House floor.

Call for Unity: Survivors and lawmakers emphasized that this issue transcends partisanship. Rep. Greene stated clearly: "This is not an issue that Republicans and Democrats should ever fight about. This should bring us all together.”

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: This should never divide us. Releasing the Epstein files isn’t about Left vs Right; it’s about protecting every innocent child, teenager, woman, and man from abuse. Justice must be served.@mtgreenee @RepMTG pic.twitter.com/TWJall0Ayu

Moral Imperative: Survivors spoke powerfully, recounting decades of silence, trauma, and betrayal—not just by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, but by institutions and officials who protected them. Their demand was simple: no more secrecy, no more redactions, no more shielding the elite.

ARICK FUDALI: None of you should have to be here today. They could end this now: release the files. No more meetings, no more slow-rolling. Survivors deserve accountability, exposure, and closure! pic.twitter.com/GIlhlCcNdb

Notable Remarks:

Survivors declared, "Together we are louder than the silence. Together, we will not stop until justice gets done.”

Rep. Massie framed the issue as a litmus test for draining the swamp, highlighting that accountability for predators is a core test of whether Washington can stand for truth over corruption.

Rep. Greene praised the courage of survivors, adding that the shame belongs not to them, but to those who turned a blind eye and enabled Epstein’s crimes.

Political Dynamics:

The push is bipartisan, but fragile. Lawmakers warned against reducing the issue to partisan warfare. Survivors themselves pleaded with Congress to put aside politics and focus on justice.

President Trump, currently serving his second term, has been directly appealed to by survivors, who asked him to use his influence to ensure full disclosure of the Epstein files.

Assessment:
Momentum is building. Survivors are no longer isolated voices—they are a movement with support from both ends of the political spectrum. With only two more signatures needed, the discharge petition could succeed, forcing transparency on decades of buried evidence. The issue has the potential to become a watershed moment: either Congress proves it can put aside partisanship for justice, or it confirms public fears that the powerful remain untouchable.

Bottom Line:
This  is about whether America’s institutions will finally place survivors above predators. With Democrats and Republicans uniting, the Epstein Files have become more than a scandal—they are now a test of the nation’s conscience.
