Epstein files live updates: Victims set to break silence as pressure mounts for transparency from Trump admin – UK Times

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse are expected to spark public outrage when they step in front of cameras in Washington, D.C., as lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle demand the full release of the files on the sex offender.

As many as 100 victims of Epstein’s abuse, along with other survivors of sexual abuse, are expected to gather near Capitol Hill for a rally ahead of a 10.30 a.m. joint news conference held by Congressmen Thomas Massie, a Republican, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat.

Khanna, who is expected to discuss his Epstein Files Transparency Bill, told Fox News that “people are going to be outraged” by what is revealed in the presser.

The Democrat says that 10 Epstein survivors will “speak out for the first time.”

Hours after Nancy Mace revealed she suffered a “full blown panic attack” during a briefing with several survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, the South Carolina representative appeared unfazed about crossing President Donald Trump on Epstein.

Speaking to The Independent’s Washington, D.C., Bureau Chief Eric Garcia, Mace,  a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member, said: “Donald Trump is the one who banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar a Lago.

“He was an FBI informant, and he talked to the feds to get this guy turned over. So Donald Trump is a hero in this.”

One minute of footage that appeared to be missing from surveillance video capturing Jeffrey Epstein’s final hours before his suicide inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center has been unearthed.

A digital clock visible on the bottom left corner of the footage jumps from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00:00 a.m. – with Attorney General Pam Bondi blaming an outdated recording system that produced the video, claiming it resets every day at midnight and skips the same minute each evening.

Now, the previously missing minute of footage has surfaced, uncovered within two additional hours of recordings released in Tuesday’s Epstein document dump by the House Oversight Committee, according to the BBC

The new files apparently show the camera data switched at about midnight, which led to a necessary merging of the two clips for a continuous video.

Fox News Digital combined the two clips after the latest release on Tuesday, showing there was no lapse in footage – contradicting Bondi’s claims.

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace revealed she suffered a “full blown panic attack” after speaking to several survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Tears streamed down the Republican lawmaker’s face on Tuesday as she shuffled past reporters at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C, following her early departure from a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee briefing.

A visibly shaken Mace was among the members of Congress who met privately with six Epstein accusers, as the GOP-led panel continues its investigation into the Trump administration’s handling of the disgraced financier’s case.

Donald Trump is set to welcome Poland’s new president, Karol Nawrocki, to the White House this morning.

Nawrocki, the nationalist Law and Justice party candidate publicly endorsed by Trump, is scheduled to arrive at the executive mansion at 11 a.m., marking his first overseas trip since assuming office last month

The former amateur boxer and historian hopes to strengthen ties with Trump and make the case that the U.S. needs to maintain a strong military presence in Poland.

A federal appeals court blocked President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act, an obscure 18th-century wartime law, to quickly deport a group of Venezuelan migrants.

In a 2-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found “no invasion or predatory incursion” by the group of Venezuelans whom the Trump administration accused of being members of Tren de Aragua.

“A country’s encouraging its residents and citizens to enter this country illegally is not the modern-day equivalent of sending an armed, organized force to occupy, to disrupt, or to otherwise harm the United States,” the court said.

“There is no finding that this mass immigration was an armed, organized force or forces.”

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace was photographed leaving a meeting with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse in floods of tears on Tuesday as she left the Government Reform Committee in Washington, D.C.

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories,” the Republican lawmaker wrote on X, explaining her early departure. “Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe.”

She added: “I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS.”

As many as 100 victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, along with other survivors of sexual abuse, are expected to gather in Washington, D.C., for a rally on Wednesday.

“The voices of survivors have been omitted from the conversation for far too long,” Lauren Hersh of World Without Exploitation, one of the groups organizing the event, told the Miami Herald.

“This is the moment to stand united to ensure that those who’ve been exploited and abused are heard loud and clear.”

The group is set to mobilize near Capitol Hill in advance of ahead of a 10.30 press conference held by Congressmen Thomas Massie, a Republican, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat, who are leading a bipartisan Congressional effort for the Justice Department to release the full, unredacted files on Epstein.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping gathered almost two-dozen world leaders to watch one of his country’s largest-ever military parades, Donald Trump posted a issued a sarcastic message.

“May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration,” the president wrote on Truth Social Tuesday evening. “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”

The event, which was held to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat and the end of the Second World War, saw Xi flaunt China’s arsenal of modern weapons, including a brand new nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.

Xi posed for a group photograph that, among other prominent leaders, featured North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin – the first time the three are believed to have ever gathered in one place.
