"On Sunday, the anti-trafficking organization World Without Exploitation released a P.S.A. featuring eleven of Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Each of the women holds a photograph of herself from around the age at which she first encountered the reviled sex offender. ("I was fourteen years old" . . . "I was sixteen years old" . . . "I was sixteen" . . . "Seventeen" . . . "Fourteen years old.") The P.S.A. ends by directing viewers to call their congressional representatives to urge the release of the remaining Epstein files: "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.""
"This plea may appear to have some momentum. Last week, the House Oversight Committee made public more than twenty thousand pages of documents subpoenaed from Epstein's estate, and, in days to come, the House is expected to vote on a bill to open up a trove of Justice Department files related to Epstein. But, even if the bill passes the House, it may die in the Senate, or by a veto from President Donald Trump, or in the hands of Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General."
Eleven survivors of Jeffrey Epstein appeared in a P.S.A. holding childhood photos and stating the ages at which they first encountered him. The P.S.A. urges viewers to contact congressional representatives to demand release of remaining Epstein files. The House Oversight Committee recently made public over twenty thousand pages of documents subpoenaed from Epstein's estate. The House is expected to vote on a bill to open Justice Department files, but the measure faces possible defeat in the Senate, a presidential veto, or obstruction by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Public statements by Donald Trump and highlighted emails raise questions about powerful connections.
