"When Silicon Valley Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and a Kentucky Republican wrangled enough lawmakers in July to force the release of government files on the late financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, House Speaker Mike Johnson halted work and sent lawmakers home early for the summer recess. With members of the U.S. House of Representatives back in Washington, D.C., Khanna and his unlikely Republican ally are quickly resuming their crusade for Epstein-related documentation."
"Khanna plans to hold a news conference on Wednesday morning outside the U.S. Capitol with 10 alleged victims of Epstein, the financier and accused child sex trafficker who died in 2019. Some of the survivors have never spoken publicly before, said a spokesperson for Khanna's office who declined to identify them before they appear in public. The news conference is a show of support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Massie authored and Khanna co-sponsored."
Ro Khanna and a Kentucky Republican rallied enough House members in July to force release of government files on Jeffrey Epstein, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to pause work and send lawmakers home. With the House back in session, Khanna and his Republican ally resumed efforts for Epstein-related documents, challenging President Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson. Khanna will hold a news conference with ten alleged Epstein victims, some speaking publicly for the first time. The event supports the Epstein Files Transparency Act authored by Massie and co-sponsored by Khanna. Khanna said the effort seeks to restore trust, unite political factions, and prevent powerful men from abusing underage girls. Epstein faced a 2008 conviction, was charged federally in 2019, and died in custody in a death ruled suicide.
