Beyond her laughable attempt to overcome years of her own history with Jeffrey Epstein -- thoroughly documented both privately and in the media -- by simply ordering discussion of it to stop, Mrs. Trump has called for a hearing not for the perpetrators, nor for Epstein's co-conspirators, but a hearing in which the survivors testify.

I wish I were joking, but no. The linked BBC article, which focuses more on Mrs. Trump's well-established, undeniable ties to both Epstein and Maxwell, also has information on this proposed hearing:

In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein's sex trafficking.

Melania Trump on Thursday additionally called on lawmakers to "give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony".

"Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record," she said. "Then, and only then, we will have the truth."

Family of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, Sky and Amanda Roberts, and other survivors told BBC Newsnight that they "have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony.

"Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice," they said in a statement. They accused the first lady of protecting "those with power", including members of her husband's administration who they said still have not released all of the investigative files related to Epstein.

"Survivors have done their part," they said. "Now it's time for those in power to do theirs."

Jessica Collins, a spokeswoman for the House Oversight Committee, said Wednesday the department signaled that Bondi, who was ousted by President Donald Trump last week, will not appear for the deposition April 14 “since she is no longer attorney general and was subpoenaed in her capacity as attorney general.” The committee will contact Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss the next steps about scheduling the interview, she said.

Bondi has faced scrutiny for how the Justice Department handled what are known as the Epstein files, and the Republican-led committee subpoenaed her in a bipartisan vote last month. The department’s release of millions of case files on Epstein, the late financier who sexually abused underage girls, contained multiple errors and ran behind a deadline set by Congress.

CAN YOU FIND THE MISSING FILES??

White House Epstein Easter Egg Roli

NOT FOR KIDS

IN FRONT OF THE US CAPITOL

President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department’s culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president’s perceived enemies. 

The departure followed months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation and failed efforts to meet Trump’s unwavering demands for criminal cases against his adversaries. As Trump’s own frustrations mounted, he began privately discussing firing Bondi, people familiar with the matter say.

ETA: This happens to happen on the 1 month aniversary that the DOJ primed 11 more datasets on their server. The folders are there, but they are empty. There are digitally forensically verifiably 11 datasets that have been withheld for a month now.

Not to mention she was sacked right before her sworn testimonial before the HOC. This is where the fired/resigned question becomes interesting. Typically when you have an opportunity in the private sector, you resign. It looks like she got Trump to fire her to me.

Arya that is. Not me. I don't pray.

I can’t find anything about this other than claims it’s genuine. Anyone seen it before?

Edit: Shown to be fake. Request leaving up as cautionary.

Was going through the (partial!) Epstein Files.

This is exactly how convicted child-sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein and his friends wanted their victims to feel, when with them, especially minors! 🤢

PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT

SEX OFFENDER IN THE AREA

DONALD J. TRUMP

Best friend of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein

Enthusiastic participant in raping underaged girls

Weaponized the US Justice Department to cover up his pedophile crimes

Noel is mentioned several times in files released by the Justice Department. She was allegedly on the receiving end of a threat the FBI was asked to investigate in 2021.

In an email, New Jersey-based lawyer Jason Foy wrote that Noel received what appeared to be a redacted threat from an individual identified as “Vegas Army Vet” that read “Go ahead and let your client Tova know, THIS ISN’T OVER!!”

WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released videos of the depositions of Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke. The depositions took place on March 11 and March 19, 2026, respectively.

Gettin’ academic on his @$%.

A friend of hers also reported the allegations about Trump to the FBI in 2019. The bureau cited her allegations in an email circulated within the agency and recently made public by the Justice Department. She asked that her friend be protected.

Of the details that The Post and Courier found supported by public records, none related directly to the alleged victim’s claims about Trump.

To identify key players in the woman’s account and attempt to evaluate her claims, the newspaper scoured court records, police reports and old newspaper clippings in multiple states. It also deployed a reporter to the West Coast to retrace her steps in a journey that began on a tony resort island along the South Carolina coast.

. . . At one point, her mother became aware that Epstein had nude photos of the teen from their sexual encounters and was demanding money to keep them hidden, the woman told the FBI. The victim said she had seen the photographs in his bedstand, leading to a violent encounter when he discovered her snooping.

She said his extortion demand caused her mother to steal funds from her real estate company.

[OP Note: interesting that Epstein was the same dirtbag asshole before he got all of Les Wexner’s money. At the time of this accuser’s account he was just extorting his landlord]

. . . She said the incident occurred when he was a leading developer with a new casino in Atlantic City. She said she was led to Trump in a “very tall building with huge rooms.” The future president instructed others to leave the room, she said, and allegedly told her, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”

She said he unzipped his pants and forced her to perform a sex act. The alleged victim told the FBI she “bit the (expletive) out of it,” causing Trump to slap her across the face and curse at her.

It is unclear from the interview records how long she stayed in the New York area, but she had family connections in the state.

In her talks with the FBI, the woman also detailed calls to her mother at an assisted living facility on the West Coast, where both of them had settled. The Post and Courier verified that the mother used a private nursing care home as an address in her declining years. A death record matches the mother’s age and name, but Washington state does not publicly release other identifying details.

. . . After her time with Epstein, the alleged victim [accumulated a record of criminal charges, drug dependency and domestic turmoil. She had a daughter and was prosecuted for filing false claims for food stamp applications. The alleged victim avoided prison by completing a drug diversion program.

The alleged victim had a turbulent domestic life, with three marriages including one that lasted only a few weeks. Her mother shows up in court records as a witness in a violent domestic incident between her daughter and her first husband, who declined to speak when a reporter approached him at his door.

The alleged victim eventually returned to the East Coast and lived with relatives in Georgia, developing a romantic relationship with a terminally-ill man who was saving money for his funeral.

She stole an envelope filled with cash from him and spent a year in the county jail for it. Her public defender told The Post and Courier that she described her life to him as having been permanently scarred by her experience with Epstein.

A more detailed version of Ari’s investigation into the suspicious death of Donnie’s BFF. He still omits that AG Bill Barr visited Epstein the day before this death in his cell and that Barr may have been the guy to forge Epstein’s “last postcard”. But for a MSM reporter, he’s not doing that bad.

More on the UK side of the decades long silence and the police not believing the women.

There's an unanswered question at the heart of the Epstein scandal - why have allegations against Epstein and Maxwell about their UK operation and activity never been fully investigated?

After the release of millions of documents from the Epstein Files and the arrest of the former Prince Andrew for alleged misconduct in public office, we ask the Metropolitan Police why alleged sexual crimes and trafficking allegations on British soil have never been investigated.

To understand a hole at the heart of the Epstein scandal, we look in detail at the story of Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell at just 15, Roberts Giuffre claimed she was kept as a "sex slave" for three years.

We explore the evidence of her 2001 meeting with the Prince in London - a meeting the Met was told about as early as 2015 in a letter from her then lawyer, Paul Cassell. This document wasn't just about trafficking; it contained explicit allegations against Andrew, Maxwell and Epstein that went far beyond the narrow scope used by the Metropolitan Police in their public statements, including a wider blackmail operation targeting powerful men. Despite these specific claims of sexual abuse in the UK, the Met repeatedly insisted the matter was a US responsibility.

While some expected the release of millions of Epstein files to spark a wave of American justice, the reality has been a firestorm of criticism regarding the US Department of Justice’s handling of the case. Under the Trump administration, critical pages, including FBI summaries of sexual assault allegations involving Donald Trump and Epstein, were initially missing from the public release, sparking criticism and allegations of of cover-up. While many have championed ‘justice’ in the UK we ask whether Epstein’s victims have really seen it here in the UK.

Through years of correspondence and the latest file dumps, we explore why we think the Metropolitan Police’s "maths doesn't work" and that more Epstein victims came forward to the Metropolitan Police than they’ve ever admitted. With Virginia Roberts Giuffre having taken her own life in 2025, she will never see justice, but the questions for the British and American establishments authorities to deliver for the rest of the victims are only getting louder.
