My guess is that Trump decided that anything in the Epstein files that implicated him in any way were classified. They gave trump (who can unilaterally decide what is/isn’t classified) the perfect tool to cover up whatever he wants with no oversight.

Why don’t the survivors just hold a press conference and name every perpetrator and what they did?

The victims were failed way back in the 2000s, when Epstein was basically let off with a warning. It’s true the full extent of the conspiracy is still being covered up, and it may also be so byzantine, it’s hard to even discern the truth. But the victims of underage sex trafficking have been free to spill the beans, and they have been doing that. If she’s saying there are perpetrators of sex crimes going unpunished, then she should name them.

My heart breaks for the victims.
Their government has completely failed them because they are the same group of predators who
committed the crimes. It must feel like living hell, and I am filled with rage for them.
At this point, anyone who still manages to wake up in the morning, look themselves in the mirror, and drive around with a trump flag or sticker…yea…you are beyond repair. And I will have no issue whatsoever walking up to anyone (who will also likely have a golden cross around their neck) and ask, “why do you support child rape?”
There’s no more daylight between supporting Trump and supporting raping children.

I have nothing but sympathies for the victims and agree with her but that said this has as much value as Trump or Epstein himself saying they saw the released files and there’s no coverup. She’s biased and I would prefer to hear from independent third parties.

A coverup for sure and it’s not to protect the victims. It to protect the predators!

The truth is, they decide that the consequences of the crime are greater than those of the cover-up. We therefore need a whistleblower or a hacker.

Every president from Clinton and on should be held accountable.

>[Financial records](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/19/epstein-files-justice-department-missing-00701512), internal memos from prosecutors who investigated Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring, key material obtained from the searches of Epstein’s palatial homes — none of it figured prominently in the documents released Friday.
