"The fight to release the Epstein records is not about politics. It is about the physical and emotional degradation of women and the damage it has created. Powerful forces led to the concealment of the records. The most powerful force is President Trump, who has intentionally made the issue political, hoping that his cult-like members of Congress will fall in line."
"House Speaker Mike Johnson's weeks-long refusal to bring the Epstein files to a vote is an unacceptable failure of leadership. The public deserves to know whether this delay occurred under pressure from Donald Trump, who had clear political motives to slow the release. Transparency is non-negotiable when the case involves decades of abuse, systemic failures and powerful individuals shielded from scrutiny. Persistent secrecy has created a credibility crisis that erodes trust in our institutions."
Victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve public release of records to acknowledge physical and emotional harm and to restore respect for women across political lines. Powerful forces and political motives delayed disclosure, including alleged interference by President Trump and reluctance by Congressional leaders. House Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to bring the files to a vote represents a failure of leadership that raises questions about undue pressure and transparency. Concerns persist about favorable treatment of Ghislaine Maxwell and unresolved doubts about Epstein's death. Continued secrecy erodes public trust in institutions and underscores the need for independent Justice Department action and full transparency.
