US EditionGOP, Democratic congressmen to hold presser with Epstein victims to demand files' release
Rep. Massie and Rep. Khanna are leading a bipartisan effort with ten Epstein victims to urge Congress to release Justice Department files on Epstein's sex trafficking network, seeking transparency and justice.
- Republican Congressman Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna plan to host an event in Washington, D.C., on September 3, 2025, alongside ten alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein to advocate for the public release of Epstein-related records.
- This event follows bipartisan efforts led by Massie and Khanna, including a discharge petition to force a House vote on the full release amid claims the Trump administration has delayed or limited disclosures.
- House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed that the Justice Department had delivered tens of thousands of pages related to Epstein to his committee by the end of August 2025, while DOJ officials stress that longstanding rules mandate keeping much of the investigative material confidential.
- Khanna expressed optimism that Congress would support the bipartisan bill and anticipated a strong public reaction to the victims' testimonies, while Massie called on Speaker Mike Johnson to heed the victims' calls for justice and stop obstructing a vote on the legislation.
- The renewed focus on Epstein's files faces legal and political challenges due to institutional secrecy interests, but it highlights increasing demands for transparency and justice regarding powerful individuals linked to abuse.
