In an NBC News exclusive interview with Hallie Jackson, Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors and their families spoke out together—many for the first time.
One exchange stood out: when Jackson asked whether anyone had ever seen or heard of President Donald Trump engaging in inappropriate behavior tied to Epstein.
The response was blunt. “No,” one survivor replied, ending years of speculation and media narratives that tried to link Trump to Epstein’s crimes.
🚨 WOW! NBC News just asked an entire panel of Epstein victims if they ever “saw or heard Donald Trump doing anything inappropriate in relation to Epstein”
VICTIMS: “No… no.”
The Democrat narrative is TOTAL BS. pic.twitter.com/WQ1tTu5N1T

Survivors Speak Publicly
The interview was paired with a press conference on Capitol Hill, where survivors—including Marina Lacerda, previously identified only as “Minor Victim 1” in Epstein’s 2019 indictment—put their names and faces to their stories.
“We need the Epstein files to be out,” Lacerda said, demanding that all records related to Epstein’s network be unsealed. Survivors described years of silence, frustration, and distrust in official investigations.
Some survivors have begun compiling their own “client list” using flight logs, emails, and other Epstein documents, citing a lack of action from the Department of Justice.
Bipartisan Push for Transparency
The survivors’ calls come as lawmakers across the aisle pursue a rare bipartisan discharge petition to force the release of Epstein-related files.
Republicans Thomas Massie (KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Nancy Mace (SC), and Lauren Boebert (CO) have joined Democrat Ro Khanna (CA) in spearheading the effort.
If all 212 House Democrats sign on, only two Republican signatures would be needed to bring the measure to the floor.
“This isn’t just a conservative issue—it’s about accountability,” Khanna said.
33,000 Epstein Pages
The Oversight Committee recently released 33,000 pages of Epstein records, but survivors criticized the dump as “mostly already public.” They say the real evidence remains hidden.
Survivor Lisa Phillips emphasized that this fight is about more than names: “It’s about real accountability.”
Nancy Mace Suffers Panic Attack
The testimonies remain raw even for members of Congress. Rep. Nancy Mace, herself a survivor of sexual assault, reportedly suffered a panic attack during private survivor testimony and had to leave the room in tears.
Her reaction underscored the deep emotional toll Epstein’s crimes continue to have—even on lawmakers hardened by Washington politics.
