Amid escalating demands from survivors and advocacy groups, the Justice Department faces mounting pressure to unseal critical documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. During a highly charged session on Capitol Hill, Epstein victims delivered emotional testimonies, urging lawmakers to prioritize transparency and accountability. Their statements underscored the urgent need for public access to DOJ records, which they argue will shed light on potential institutional failures and undisclosed connections in the high-profile investigation.

Key points raised by the survivors included:

  • Full disclosure of all investigative files to ensure no details remain hidden from public scrutiny.
  • Clarity on prosecutorial decisions that led to controversial plea deals and dropped charges.
  • Implementation of stronger safeguards to protect victims’ rights in future cases.
