We're Not Going to Take It: Protesting Trump in Our Nation's Capital

  Epstein Survivors Urge Trump to Support Transparency Bill in Emotional Capitol Press Conference In a powerful and poignant bipartisan press event on Capitol Hill today, eight women who survived sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein urged former President Donald Trump to support legislation requiring the release of all federal files related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The women stood alongside Representatives Thomas Massie (R‑KY) , Ro Khanna (D‑CA) , and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA) to support the Epstein Files Transparency Act , which would compel the Department of Justice to release sealed case files.

In 2008, he avoided federal prosecution through a controversial non-prosecution agreement, culminating in just 13 months in a county jail and no notification to his accusers—a decision later deemed as showing “poor judgment” by the Justice Department’s internal review  .
