Jeffrey Epstein survivors returned Tuesday to Palm Beach County, the place where his abuse first collided with law enforcement and where a secretive 2008 plea deal allowed him to avoid federal prosecution, to ask Congress for something they say they still have not received: the full truth.
House Oversight Committee Democrats held an unofficial field hearing in West Palm Beach, framing the event as a return to "the scene of the crime" and focusing less on Epstein's death than on the government failures that survivors say allowed his trafficking network to continue. The hearing was led by Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the committee, and included testimony from survivors and witnesses tied to the case.
