Democrats on the House Oversight Committee heard testimony Tuesday from survivors of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. They held the field hearing in Palm Beach, Florida, near President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and where Epstein once lived, framing it as a return to the “scene of the crime.” Lawmakers used the hearing to warn President Trump against pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted longtime associate of Epstein, who is serving a 20-year sentence for helping him traffic and abuse girls. Trump has repeatedly declined to rule out a pardon for Maxwell. Meanwhile, some Epstein survivors said they had been “re-traumatized” after the Justice Department failed to redact their names from its incomplete release of the Epstein files. This is survivor Jena-Lisa Jones.

Jena-Lisa Jones: “When I was a teenager, I did not have the language to understand what was happening to me. I did not know who to tell. I did not know where to go. Many of us didn’t. We were young, and we were manipulated. We were left without the tools or the support we needed. That is something Congress can change.”
