In a dramatic escalation of demands for accountability surrounding the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has pledged to read the names of alleged accomplices on the House floor if provided with the information.
This commitment came during a high-profile news conference on Capitol Hill where Epstein survivors shared harrowing testimonies and urged Congress to force the release of all remaining Justice Department files related to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
The event, held on September 3, 2025, highlighted growing bipartisan frustration over what survivors and lawmakers describe as incomplete transparency in the Epstein case.
Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, has been at the center of conspiracy theories and political debates due to his connections with powerful figures across industries and government.
Recent releases of over 33,000 pages of documents, including flight logs and court filings, have been deemed insufficient by advocates pushing for full disclosure.
Dozens of Epstein survivors gathered in Washington, D.C., to break their silence and pressure lawmakers.
Among them was Marina Lacerda, identified as “Minor Victim 1” in Epstein’s 2019 indictment, who recounted being lured into his Palm Beach mansion at age 14 and subjected to abuse.
Annie Farmer, another survivor, detailed an alleged assault at age 16 in 1996, emphasizing the long-term impact and the need for justice beyond partial document releases.
Other accusers, including Theresa Helm and Haley Robson, echoed these calls, holding signs reading “Trust the victims, not the felon” and threatening to compile their own “client list” of Epstein’s associates if Congress fails to act.
“We know the names, we know the players,” Robson stated, underscoring the survivors’ firsthand knowledge and determination to hold enablers accountable.
The group also demanded that President Donald Trump refrain from pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted associate, calling any such move a “slap in the face” to victims.
Sky Roberts, brother of the late Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, added his voice, insisting that opposition to file releases is not a political issue and challenging lawmakers to explain their resistance.
“This is not a political issue,” Roberts said, calling for unwavering transparency.
Bipartisan Discharge Petition Gains Traction
The rally was organized by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who are leading a discharge petition to bypass committee processes and force a House vote on a bill requiring the Justice Department to release all Epstein files within 30 days.
As of September 3, the petition has garnered 134 signatures, including 130 Democrats and just four Republicans: Massie, Greene, Lauren Boebert (Colo.), and Nancy Mace (S.C.).
The bill, if passed, would also direct the House Oversight Committee to investigate potential mismanagement in the federal probe into Epstein.
Massie and Khanna expressed optimism, noting they need only two more Republican signatures to reach the 218 required for a floor vote, assuming full Democratic support.
Khanna highlighted the unifying potential, stating, “Releasing Epstein files can unite the country.”
However, the effort faces stiff opposition from the White House and GOP leadership, who argue that full disclosure could endanger victim privacy.
President Trump dismissed the calls as a “Democrat hoax that never ends,” while House Speaker Mike Johnson labeled Massie’s petition “meaningless.”
The White House has reportedly made calls to GOP members, framing support for the petition as a “hostile act” against the administration.
Greene’s Bold Pledge and Broader Political Implications
Rep. Greene, a vocal supporter, was met with protests upon arriving at the event but remained steadfast.
Speaking alongside survivors, she promised, “If they are provided to her, [she] will read the names of alleged abusers on the House floor.”
Greene has previously expressed skepticism about official denials of an Epstein “client list” and warned President Trump about handling the saga, emphasizing the public’s demand for truth.
Other Republicans, like Mace, who identifies as a survivor herself, stressed the need for justice and transparency beyond party lines.
The push has drawn attention to lingering questions about Epstein’s death and his elite network, fueling calls for a non-partisan commitment to uncovering the full truth.
What Happens Next?
If the discharge petition succeeds, it could mark a rare bipartisan victory in a divided Congress, potentially exposing more details about Epstein’s operations and any high-profile involvement.
Survivors have made clear they will not relent, with plans to continue rallying and compiling independent information if necessary.
As one survivor put it, the fight is for “a severe miscarriage of justice” to be rectified through complete transparency.
