"Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor. He died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. He didn't think that it was a hoax then. In fact, he helped me. He got on the phone. He told me things that were helping our investigation. Now, our investigation wasn't looking into him, but he was helping us then. He didn't treat this as a hoax, Edwards told reporters."
"Edwards said on Wednesday that he and the victims do not understand Trump's about face on Epstein. At this point in time, I would hope that he would revert back to what he was saying to get elected, which is I want transparency.' This about face that occurred, none of us understand it, the attorney said. In fact, I don't understand how this is an issue that's even up for debate."
Attorney Bradley Edwards, representing some Jeffrey Epstein victims, joined Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna and victims at a press conference demanding release of additional Epstein files. Edwards contrasted President Trump's assistance during a 2009 investigation—saying Trump got on the phone and provided helpful information—with Trump's recent public remarks calling Epstein files a hoax. Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor and died by apparent suicide in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Trump says he is open to releasing more files but has faced pushback after a DOJ/FBI memo denied files implicating other high‑profile people. Edwards and the victims urged a return to transparency.
