Mike Johnson, Members of Congress Meet With 6 Epstein Victims: Heartbreaking and Infuriating'

"We just spent more than two hours with six of the Epstein victims, Johnson told reporters following the meeting. Some of the bravest women I've ever met. They're very courageous, they shared their stories. Some of the ladies have shared these stories publicly before, but at least two of the women had never told their stories before. One for the very first time in the room, and so there were tears in the room, there was outrage."

"I would describe it as heartbreaking and infuriating that justice has been delayed so long. Some of the women in the room began to be groomed by Epstein and his accomplices, Ghislaine Maxwell and the others, thirty years ago. There were four attorneys in the room. Some of them began civil litigation against Epstein and the Epstein evils and everything associated with it 20 years ago. This has gone on for a long, long time."

Mike Johnson and a bipartisan group of lawmakers met privately with six victims of Jeffrey Epstein for more than two hours. Two of the women recounted their abuse publicly for the first time during the meeting, and other attendees had shared accounts previously. Attendees described tears, outrage, and long-delayed justice. Some victims were groomed thirty years ago; several pursued civil litigation roughly twenty years ago. Lawmakers characterized the situation as heartbreaking and infuriating and pledged to investigate the delays, hold accountable those involved, prevent future abuse, and safeguard victims' identities through careful document redaction by the House Oversight Committee.
