Epstein Victims Welcome Law for Document Release

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein gathered at the Capitol to support a law mandating the release of all investigation documents. They urged Donald Trump to sign it and not turn it into a political issue.


Many of them gathered throughout the day at the doors of the Capitol to present their testimonies and urge congressmen to move the measure forward so that the guilty are known. "We are here as American survivors of a man who used his wealth and power to harm girls and young women," stated one of the victims. Farmer, like the other victims, assured that she has started a new chapter after both chambers of Congress approved on Tuesday the law that forces the Department of Justice to disclose all documents and which must now be signed by President Donald Trump, who said he is willing to do so. Several of the victims addressed Trump directly, asking him not to make a political issue out of the publication of the files and to ratify the law. However, he has not spoken since both chambers of Congress approved the law on Tuesday. "The world should see the files to know who Jeffrey Epstein was and how the system favored him and failed us emotionally," another victim added. "He stole a lot from me when I was only 14 years old," stated Jena-Lisa Jones, another of the victims. I had hopes in life and for what the future held for me. The victims of millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein celebrated the approval of the law that requires the release of the investigation documents as a victory for them, meaning that "fear" should now change sides. "Show class, show true leadership, show that you really care about people, besides yourself," declared Jones. "I beg you, President Trump, to stop making this a political issue. You are our president." Trump initially opposed the publication, considering it a "hoax" by Democrats, but seeing that its approval was inevitable due to the support of lawmakers from his own party, he changed his mind and committed to signing it. "I was a girl." "It really makes us go from feeling fear to feeling that we are feared. Together we have power," stated Annie Farmer, who was 16 years old when Epstein abused her, according to CNN reported this Wednesday. "This is not about you, President Trump. I was in ninth grade." Her sister, Maria Farmer, one of the first to denounce what happened, explains that it was "incredible" to hear from Annie's voice that the law had been passed. "Please, start acting as such. The official maintained a friendship with Epstein from the late 1980s to the early 2000s and his name has appeared in some of the documents that have come to light.
