A group of women stood in front of the Capitol on Wednesday to share stories of abuse, describing their childhood memories of Jeffrey Epstein and calling on Congress and the White House for transparency.
But the mood was more circus than somber on the House Triangle, as throngs of reporters and observers crowded the press conference organized by Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Speakers were at times barely audible over the din of protesters — who held signs with slogans like “Do right by the wronged” and old photos of a smiling Donald Trump standing next to Epstein — as Capitol Police worked to hold them back.
