Epstein Victims To Speak

And thoughts on work

3 min readSep 1, 2025

On September 3rd, ten of Epstein’s victims will hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol. (The press conference will be streamed live on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel. I have not seen any notice of this in the Mainstream media, except Fox News). Congressman Ro Khanna (D-California) called it “explosive.” He and Congressman Thomas Massie — a Republican — are co-leading a bill to force the release of Epstein’s files. They need 218 votes. Every Democrat is already in, so six Republicans have to step up. Fox News reported that Khanna arranged this press conference and hopes that when the American public hear the victims (most of whom have not spoken up, nor been asked to), they will be outraged.

“These victims haven’t spoken for decades. When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers. My belief is, when the American people actually hear the victims for the first time, they are going to sympathize, their hearts are going to be broken, and all the victims are saying is for closure.”

“We’ve got 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Look, this is not about Donald Trump, and it’s not partisan. This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls.”

Khanna emphasized that “in this country, people want transparency. They want accountability. I’m confident we’re going to get the 218 votes for the discharge petition.”
