Epstein Victims, Lawmakers Seek House Vote to Release Investigation Files

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein, supported by bipartisan lawmakers Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, are demanding the release of additional federal files related to Epstein's crimes, asserting that the public and survivors have been mistreated by the government’s withholding of information. Despite the recent release of nearly 34,000 pages of documents by the House Oversight Committee, including interviews and videos, critics argue most materials were already public and reveal little new insight, prompting calls for further transparency. Survivors like Marina Lacerda and Lisa Phillips have publicly called for full disclosure, with some survivors planning to create their own database of individuals involved in Epstein’s network. The Justice Department's memo claiming no evidence exists for a so-called "client list" has ignited outrage, as survivors and lawmakers seek to uncover potential uncharged parties linked to Epstein’s operations. The ongoing push includes a procedural discharge petition aiming to compel a House vote to urge the Justice Department to disclose all relevant files. This coordinated effort highlights the survivors' continued fight for justice and the broader demand for government accountability in the Epstein investigation.
