Washington DC, 25 February (H.S.): Over a dozen House Democrats will escort Jeffrey Epstein abuse survivors to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday, amplifying calls for full file transparency amid accusations of DOJ foot-dragging and elite impunity.
Transparency Act Sparks Guest List Showdown
Key invitees include Rep. Ro Khanna's guest Haley Robson (trafficked at 16), Hakeem Jeffries' Marina Lacerda, Chuck Schumer's Dani Bensky, Robert Garcia's Annie Farmer, Jamie Raskin's relatives of the late Virginia Giuffre, and Pramila Jayapal's proxy Marijke Chartouni—joined by others like Lisa Phillips (for Maxine Dexter) and New Mexico investigator Andrea Romero.
Pre-speech presser underscores survivors' demands against Attorney General Pam Bondi's office for partial redactions, victim exposures, and stalled probes despite the Epstein Transparency Act's mandates.
Two-Tiered Justice? Trump Guests Counter Narrative
Khanna frames it as confronting the Epstein class, with survivors decrying institutional failures while other nations prosecute aggressively. Trump counters with guests like Erika Kirk (widow of slain activist Charlie Kirk) and U.S. men's Olympic hockey team (women's absent); critics highlight unredacted power names versus victim IDs. House Oversight probes persist amid Zorro Ranch scrutiny.
