Epstein Survivors Ramp Up Pressure for Full DOJ Disclosure
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring are urging Congress to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all files related to the case, reigniting scrutiny over high-profile figures tied to the disgraced financier—including former President Donald Trump.
With redacted records and sealed court filings leaving critical gaps, advocates argue full transparency is essential for accountability.
“We Deserve the Truth”: Survivors Fight for Full Disclosure
A coalition of Epstein survivors, backed by attorneys and advocacy groups, is pressuring lawmakers to subpoena the DOJ for undisclosed documents, including flight logs, witness testimonies, and communications that could expose Epstein’s network.
Sarah Ransome, a survivor and advocate, said: “The DOJ has hidden too much for too long. If Congress won’t act, who will?”
The push follows the partial unsealing of documents in a civil case involving Ghislaine Maxwell, which named powerful figures but left key questions unanswered. Survivors believe the DOJ holds far more damning evidence.
Trump’s Epstein Ties Under Renewed Scrutiny
The campaign for disclosure has intensified as Trump’s connections to Epstein resurface. Though Trump has denied close ties, archived evidence—including flight logs and Epstein’s infamous “Little Black Book”—links the two in the early 2000s.
Lisa Bloom, an attorney representing accusers, stated: “If there’s nothing to hide, release everything. The public deserves to know who was involved.”
Will Congress Force the DOJ’s Hand?
Bipartisan lawmakers, including Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), support transparency efforts. Lieu emphasized: “Epstein’s crimes thrived on elite impunity. Congress must ensure all evidence is revealed.”
Yet the DOJ resists, citing ongoing investigations and privacy concerns. Survivors counter that Epstein’s case is too significant for secrecy.
Why This Fight Matters
Full disclosure could expose co-conspirators and validate survivors’ long battle for justice.
Virginia Giuffre, who settled with Prince Andrew, said: “This is about every predator who thought they were untouchable. We won’t stop until the whole truth is out.”
As pressure mounts, the pivotal question remains: Will Congress unlock the DOJ’s files—or will Epstein’s secrets stay buried?
