WASHINGTON, DC: A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors gathered in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, to declare their plan to release a list of the financier’s known associates.

The announcement came as frustration grew over the government’s handling of the files related to Epstein’s crimes and connections.  

The rally was organized after the House Oversight Committee released 33,000 pages of Epestine documents.



 

Lisa Phillips says survivors will compile Epstein list

Lisa Phillips, who met Epstein in the 2000s, said that survivors had begun creating their own record of those tied to him.

"Several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names," said Phillips.



 

"Many of us were abused by them — now, together as survivors we will confidentially compile the names we know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors and for survivors," she added.

"No one else is involved," Phillips continued. "Because history is watching and so are the women who will come after us."

Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie demand full release of Epstein files

The rally was organized by Rep Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep Ro Khanna of California. Khanna told reporters that government agencies had only shared a tiny fraction of records.

“There is something that is rotten in Washington,” Khanna said. “We are demanding today in the discharge petition that all of the files be released.”



 

Rep Robert Garcia of California added that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee found 97% of documents already public.

"There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims," Garcia said in a statement to CNN.

Haley Robson condemns decades of inaction over Jeffrey Epstein

Survivors also criticized the Department of Justice and President Donald Trump for giving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted accomplice, opportunities to spread what they called false stories.

Haley Robson, who said she met Maxwell at age 16, accused the government of ignoring victims’ trauma.



 

"You may pull the wool over the sheep's eyes, but we are the keys. We know who was involved," Robson said through tears.

"We know the game. We know the players, and we are sitting here for 20 years waiting for you to get up and do something. Well, guess what? Your time is up and now we're doing it," she added.



 

Robson stated that she was a registered Republican and dismissed its relevance to their demands. She invited Trump to meet her in person in DC, saying, "so that you can understand this is not a hoax."

The family of one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, spoke on her behalf after she died by suicide at age 41 in April.

Massie said his bill to require the release of all Epstein documents has backing from every Democrat and just a few Republicans, including Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep Nancy Mace and Rep Lauren Boebert.

"The message is that there’s 200 Republicans who could do something to protect, to get justice for the victims and survivors, and I only need 2 of 200, and none of them are stepping up to the plate," Massie said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has opposed the release, claiming it is to protect survivors, though those present at the rally argued the opposite.
