Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse have gathered on Capitol Hill to demand the release of the sex trafficking investigation into the late financier. On Wednesday, they pushed back against President Donald Trump's dismissal of the issue as a "hoax." During a news conference, the women shared their experiences and called for transparency and accountability. Lawmakers are divided on how to proceed, with some Republicans supporting a bill to force the Department of Justice to release records. The Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee has released some documents. Survivors see this as a crucial moment for justice and accountability.
