House representatives propose to publicly read the names of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers in Congress, citing a compelling rationale
In a bold move, two Republican members of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, have agreed to read out the Jeffrey Epstein accusers' list on the House floor. This decision comes as part of a push to hold accountable those politicians, bureaucrats, and elites who turned a blind eye to Epstein.
The news conference, organized by a handful of United States House Representatives from both parties on 3 September, aimed to collect 218 signatures for a vote that would force the Department of Justice to release all files related to the Epstein case.
The Epstein files scandal has been a contentious issue, plaguing the administration of US President Donald Trump. Many, including some of Trump's own allies, have criticized the administration for their handling of the matter.
Lisa Phillips, one of Epstein's accusers, stated that survivors will confidentially compile the names of those who were regularly in Epstein's world. Survivors have said that if they fail to collect the necessary signatures, they will compile a list of the accused.
Under the US Constitution, Congress members are protected from lawsuits for anything said in their official capacity during legislative activity. Therefore, Greene and Massie are willing to name names in the House of Representatives under Constitutional 'speech or debate' immunity.
The survivors' goal is to hold accountable those who turned a blind eye to Epstein. They believe this situation is the product of past administrations, both Republican and Democrat, trying to silence victims.
So far, just four Republicans have agreed to the push for the vote. The administration failed to disclose the Epstein files publicly and denied the claim that there was a list of his clients.
Some of Epstein's accusers spoke at the news conference about their harrowing experiences. The survivors would be sued into homelessness for naming names, but Greene and Massie are willing to take that risk to ensure transparency and support the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
This act demands full disclosure of sealed Epstein documents. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie decided to speak out on the day of the House of Representatives inauguration to name Epstein scandal lawyers because victims' lawyers plan to create a private "Epstein list" of accomplices. Massie and Greene offered to reveal these names under the protection of the Speech-or-Debate Immunity in Congress.
Greene stated that she is not afraid to say the names of those involved in Jeffrey Epstein's cabal. The push for transparency continues as the fight for justice for Epstein's victims persists.
