Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) stood up on the steps of Capitol Hill and made an impassioned plea for the full release of the infamous Epstein files concerning the case of decease pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his former flame, Ghislaine Maxwell. Her plea occured in the beginning of September.
Many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are demanding the Trump administration release the files that may contain a list of high-profile clients — celebrities and politicians likely included — that were involved in the billionaire’s human trafficking scheme. Those calling for the release of the files want to see all involved held accountable for their actions.
Greene, along with others, participated in a “Stand With Survivors” rally. Organizers of the event said its ultimate goal was to stop protecting those involved with Epstein and Maxwell. Earlier in the week, the U.S. House Oversight Committee publicly posted the files it has thus far received from the Justice Department concerning investigations into the sex trafficking activity of Epstein and Maxwell as a response to pressure from both Congress and activists fighting for further disclosure in the case.
“I’m not afraid to name names,” Greene stated from the steps of the Capitol building Wednesday morning, WRDW reported, on September 3. “If they want to give me a list, I will walk in the Capitol on the House floor, and I’ll say every d*** name that abused these women. I can do that for them, and I’d be proud to do that.”
The files released thus far contain information that was either already known to the public or available to see. Folders were posted to Google Drive containing hundreds of images taken of old court documents related to the Epstein case. The billionaire died in his jail cell by suicide — or so the “official” story says — in 2019 while facing charges for the sexual abuse of underage girls. Maxwell is currently serving a prison sentence of her own for helping him.
“Let’s recognize the fact that the administration before, and before, and before and before, never did anything about [the Epstein case],” Greene added. “This is a culmination of everyone who worked together to silence these women and protect Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal.”
“This is not about politics,” she stated. “This is a boiling point in American history.” Greene, along with U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and a group of Epstein survivors sat down for a conversation with a bipartisan group of lawmakers.

“The objective here is not just to uncover, investigate the Epstein evils, but also to ensure that this never happens again and ultimately to find out why justice has been delayed for these ladies for so very long,” Johnson (R-LA) said after he came out from the two-hour meeting with six Epstein survivors.
“It is inexcusable. And it will stop now because the Congress is dialed in on this,” he added. Johnson wants to see the inquiry handled by the House Oversight Committee and has expressed his support for the committee as it continues to release its findings. Releasing the files, according to the report, demonstrates that lawmakers in Washington are eager to get to work on the issue following a month-long break.
