Jeffrey Epstein victims gathered on Capitol Hill Wednesday to press Congress to support a bipartisan bill that would force the release of all government documents related to the late sex trafficker. The emotional news conference came as Representatives Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, and Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, pushed forward a discharge petition aimed at forcing a House vote on their Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Attorney Bradley Edwards, who represents multiple Epstein survivors, told the gathered crowd that Americans will be “appalled” when they see documents that remain hidden from public view. Edwards led successful lawsuits against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank that resulted in settlements totaling $365 million for victims. The banks were accused of knowingly providing financial infrastructure for Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
