A lawyer representing victims of Jeffrey Epstein expressed outrage on Wednesday over the lack of transparency surrounding documents related to the disgraced financier that have not been made public by the federal government.

During a news conference in Washington, D.C., attorney Bradley Edwards emphasized the importance of releasing the Epstein files, which are currently shielded by protective orders, confidentiality agreements, and bank secrecy laws.

Efforts led by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to pass a discharge petition in the House aim to urge the Justice Department to make the documents accessible to the public.

“The American people deserve to see everything,” Edwards asserted. “The documents held by the CIA and FBI dating back decades must be disclosed to shed light on the heinous crimes committed by Epstein and his associates.”

Massie emphasized the need to prioritize the voices of survivors, denouncing the protection of wealthy and powerful individuals implicated in the case. Realizing justice for the victims remains a paramount concern.

Victim Jena-Lisa Jones shared her harrowing experience, underscoring the lasting trauma inflicted by Epstein’s exploitation. Her plea for accountability resonated with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who echoed calls for transparency and justice.

“The truth needs to come out,” Greene asserted. “The sealed cases and confidential information must be revealed to expose the extent of Epstein’s criminal enterprise.”

As survivors continue to seek closure and validation, the push for government transparency remains a critical step towards accountability and healing.
