"I went back and I listened to Donald Trump's press conference at the White House. And not only did he call the move to release the Epstein files a, you know, a Democratic hoax, he said it was designed to get the American people to focus in on something that was irrelevant. Now let that sink in. I mean, if you listen to the survivors that were in front of the Capitol just a few minutes ago, listen to their horror stories, that's irrelevant?!"
"I mean, that the President of the United States of America would say something like that is pathetic. And, you know, he could very easily put all this controversy to rest by just releasing the files. And that is why we need to pass the Massie-Khanna bill, because we could actually pass a bill that will compel him to do that, McGovern said."
Rep. Jim McGovern condemned President Trump's characterization of the move to release Jeffrey Epstein's files as a Democratic hoax and irrelevant. McGovern cited survivors' recent testimony at the Capitol and called the President's dismissal of their horror stories pathetic. McGovern urged passage of the Massie-Khanna bill to compel release of the files and criticized a GOP-backed rules committee resolution as meaningless cover. Rep. Ro Khanna affirmed that survivors were not swayed by Epstein's attempts to silence them and said he would not be silenced. Trump told reporters that the Epstein controversy was intended to distract from presidential successes.
