Epstein survivor slams Trump’s focus on Democrats, calls to release full files

WASHINGTON, DC: Alleged Epstein survivor Jena Lisa Jones on Tuesday, November 18, issued a blistering condemnation of President Donald Trump, accusing him of turning the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network into a political weapon rather than a pursuit of truth and justice. 

Jones, who revealed she voted for Trump, alleged that his behavior has been “a national embarrassment.”

“I beg you, President Trump. Please stop making this political. It is not about you, President Trump. You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class, show real leadership, show that you actually care about the people other than yourself,” Jones said at a press conference. 

Jena Lisa Jones calls for broader transparency 

Jones criticized Trump for allegedly ordering the Justice Department to focus on Epstein’s ties to prominent Democrats instead of backing broader transparency.

She urged him to support full disclosure of Epstein’s network, including “Who Epstein’s friends were, who covered for him... and who stayed silent out of cowardice.”

Haley Robson thanks lawmakers pushing release of Epstein files

Another alleged Epstein accuser, Haley Robson, praised lawmakers risking political fallout to support the release of the case files, calling their courage “unbelievable to watch.”

Robson said Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene’s willingness to read names connected to Epstein on the House floor was a moment she would stand behind.

She said, “I am traumatized, I am not stupid.” Robson alleged that the president had put survivors through “so much stress” with his stance regarding the release of the documents.

The White House has yet to respond to the remarks.

Lawmakers back survivors and predict unified House vote

Reps Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared alongside the survivors, thanking them for their courage and pledging their continued support for the release of Epstein’s case files.

Greene, who recently clashed publicly with Trump over his hesitation to support the vote, said that the president had called her a “traitor.”

She rejected the label and said, “A traitor serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot serves this country and the women standing behind me.”

Greene predicted that the House would vote unanimously to release the files but warned that “the real test will be whether the Department of Justice releases them, or whether they get tied up in investigations.”

Thomas Massie warns Senate not to ‘muck up’ Epstein Bill

At the same press event, Rep Thomas Massie issued a sharp warning to the Senate, urging lawmakers not to “muck” up the Epstein transparency bill once it clears the House.

“It may be tempting for them to get cute and to do things that will limit the release of these documents,” Massie said.

“They are afraid that people will be embarrassed. Well, that’s the whole point here. They need to be brought to justice, and embarrassment is no reason to stop it.”

Massie also blasted the nearly two-month delay in swearing in newly elected Rep Adelita Grijalva, arguing that the holdup prevented him and other supporters from gathering the signatures needed earlier to force a vote.

He also suggested the House leadership’s timing was politically calculated.

Massie added that he believed House Speaker Mike Johnson scheduled the vote at this time because he “wants to save face” after weeks of pressure from survivors, lawmakers, and the public demanding action.
