For years, the public has heard only pieces of the truth about Jeffrey Epstein. On Tuesday, that silence fractured even further. Survivors who have never spoken publicly before are stepping up to the microphone in Washington, D.C., standing in front of cameras and lawmakers just hours before a historic House vote that could crack open the Justice Department’s sealed files on Epstein.
The press conference is being led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), an unlikely bipartisan duo that has turned into one of the loudest forces pushing for full transparency. Khanna first teased the event last week on “Breaking Points,” telling viewers the presser would feature Epstein survivors “who have not spoken out before.” That one line sent shockwaves through political circles and survivor communities alike. New voices mean new accounts, potentially new evidence, and another reminder of how much the public still doesn’t know.
At 12 p.m. EST, the House gavels in. Lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill that would force the DOJ to release every Epstein file—no redactions designed to protect the powerful, no selective drip-feeding of information.
The expectation on the Hill is that the measure will pass with a lopsided majority. From there, it heads to the Senate, and if it clears that chamber, it will land on Trump’s desk for final approval.
For Epstein’s survivors, today isn’t just politics. It’s another attempt—long overdue—to drag the truth into the light. Many have carried their stories for years without saying a word publicly. Now they’re stepping forward before the nation watches Congress decide whether those long-buried files should finally see daylight.
