Epstein victims will return to Capitol Hill next week [View all]

(The Hill) Victims of Jeffrey Epstein will return to Capitol Hill next week, when they will be hosted by a bipartisan group of lawmakers pushing the Trump administration to release the government’s files on the sex offender.

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had staged a public event with Epstein survivors early last month as part of their effort to drum up support for a discharge petition designed to force the administration to release the secret documents.

The trio has arranged a similar event outside the Capitol on Oct. 8.

The discharge petition has 217 signatures, one shy of the number needed to force a vote on legislation requiring the Justice Department to release the files. But Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D), who recently won a special election in Arizona, is expected to provide the decisive 218th endorsement whenever she’s sworn in.
