Survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein have a direct message for Congress — particularly for Republicans who spent years calling for more information about the sexual predator’s circle of well-connected friends and who have somehow now lost interest.
Their message, both about their own abuse and a seeming cover-up? "You have a choice. Stand with the truth. Or with the lies that have protected predators for decades,” said Anouska de Georgiou, an Epstein survivor, at a two-hour news conference in Washington last week.
"President Trump, you have so much influence and power in this situation,” de Georgiou continued. "Please use that influence and power to help us. Because we need it now and this country needs it now.” She was one of several Epstein survivors calling on the Department of Justice to release all of its files on Epstein. (Also last week, the House Oversight Committee released 33,000 pages of documents related to the Epstein case that the Department of Justice provided, the bulk of which had already been released.)
