Bipartisan Lawmakers and Epstein Survivors Demand Transparency
WASHINGTON — In a powerful display outside the US Capitol, a bipartisan group of lawmakers joined forces with nearly a dozen women who shared stories of abuse by the late Jeffrey Epstein, sending a clear message: This is not a hoax.
The survivors, including Anouska de Georgiou and Haley Robson, made heartfelt pleas for President Trump to take action and acknowledge their trauma. However, just moments after their emotional testimonies, Trump dismissed the growing political controversy surrounding Epstein as a “Democrat hoax.”
Despite the president’s remarks, the survivors and lawmakers continued to push for transparency from the executive branch regarding Epstein’s crimes. The event marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle for accountability.
Support for the cause came from unexpected sources, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close ally of Trump. Greene emphasized that the issue transcends politics and urged her colleagues to stand with the survivors in seeking justice.
Efforts to compel Congress to demand more information from the White House have gained momentum, with Republicans like Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie leading the charge. They called for unity in the pursuit of truth, setting aside partisan differences for the greater good.
While Speaker Mike Johnson cited the House Oversight Committee’s work as a means of addressing the concerns, critics pointed out that much of the released information was already public knowledge. Democrats seized on the opportunity to press the issue further, but the tone of the event remained focused on the survivors’ stories.
As the fight for transparency continues, Epstein’s survivors and their allies remain determined to hold those in power accountable. With the support of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, the call for justice grows louder and more urgent.
