Trump Accusers and Epstein Survivors Urge Congress to Release All Epstein Files

Four women who have accused President Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual contact have joined survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in a letter to Congress, urging the release of all files related to the late financier's sex trafficking case. The letter, sent on Friday, emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability.

The signatories include Alva Johnson, Natasha Stoynoff, Karena Virginia, and Amy Dorris, all of whom have previously accused Trump of misconduct. They were joined by four relatives of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser who died by suicide in April.

The letter begins: "Dear Esteemed Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, you have the ability to vote to release the Epstein files, and with it, deliver a promise the American people have awaited far too long. We implore you to do so." It further states that the crimes committed by Epstein, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and their co-conspirators "exposed a double standard of justice, where rich and powerful men and women evade repercussions."

Alva Johnson previously filed a lawsuit against Trump over alleged misconduct but dropped it in 2019, citing safety concerns, while maintaining her allegations. Trump has denied any inappropriate behavior with all four women.

Trump and Epstein were known to have been friends, but the president has consistently denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking activities. He has stated that their friendship ended around 2007 after discovering Epstein was recruiting employees from his Mar-a-Lago club. Trump has not been charged with any criminal activity related to Epstein.

Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 on related charges and is reportedly seeking to have her prison sentence commuted.

The letter to Congress follows recent calls from Epstein accusers Liz Stein and Jess Michaels, who urged lawmakers to compel the Justice Department to release all Epstein-related files. Both Stein and Michaels signed the letter.

Recently released emails by the House Oversight Committee revealed that Epstein mentioned Trump, stating that he "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop," but did not accuse him of any wrongdoing. Some emails included the redacted name of a victim, identified by the White House and Republicans on the committee as Giuffre. The committee noted that the name was not redacted when it received the documents.

In one email, Epstein wrote that Giuffre spent hours at his house with Trump. However, Giuffre never accused Trump of any wrongdoing. Her brother, Sky Roberts, condemned the administration for unredacting her name, calling it "a disrespect to survivors." He stated, "I don't personally know if she was involved with President Donald Trump. She said it herself that he was always very nice to her."

Roberts, along with his wife Amanda, Giuffre's brother Danny Wilson, and Wilson's wife Lanette Wilson, are signatories on the letter to Congress.
