"Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's empire of moneyed sleaze came to talk to the country in advance of the passage of a bill demanding that all the files be laid before a candid world, as the Declaration of Independence calls it. Their primary congressional allies, Reps. Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene were there as well, the latter predicting that the vote in the House could be unanimous."
"But it was the brigade of brave women who carried the day, and who gave us the clearest view of the true parameters of this scandal. And the one who did this most ably was a woman named Annie Farmer, who spoke on behalf of herself and her sister, who also was a victim. She said: Survivors have repeatedly said that our pursuit of justice is a non-partisan issue."
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's network gathered on the House-side Capitol lawn to demand public release of all related files and to press for justice. Congressional allies including Reps. Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene attended the event. Survivors emphasized that pursuit of justice transcends partisan lines while recounting a pattern of institutional failures. Annie Farmer detailed a timeline: in 1996 her sister reported abuse to the FBI and received no follow-up; in 2006 the FBI interviewed them as potential witnesses but then failed to proceed because of a sweetheart deal; in 2015 the DOJ repeatedly denied requests for Maria's FBI files. The survivors urged transparency and accountability.
