MTG Breaks With Trump Admin, Claims DOJ and FBI ‘Hold the Truth’ About Epstein

CNN aired Wednesday’s press conference held by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Y) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) on their efforts to release the Epstein Files to the public, which included comments from other House members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and some of Epstein’s victims.

Anchor Pamela Brown cut to the live event with a warning, “We are about to hear from the survivors firsthand of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, some are speaking out for the first time. And we did not get an advance list of speakers other than Congressman Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. I see Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking right now. We want to be completely transparent, and we may hear some details that frankly viewers will find very disturbing, and we also may hear claims that we cannot verify at this time. Let’s listen.”

“Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal continued a nightmare. Those people deserve the shame. And today we are coming forward, and we are going to fight like hell for these women because we have to fight like hell for those that are enduring sexual abuse and are living in a prison of shame. Anyone that is being abused, it is not your fault. You should live with no guilt or fear or shame. All of the fault belongs to the evil people that do these things to the innocent,” Taylor Greene said, adding:

This is the most important fight we can wage here in Congress: fighting for innocent people that never receive justice. And the women behind me have never received justice. And do you want to know why? It’s because Jeffrey Epstein somehow was able to walk among the most rich, powerful people not only in America, but in foreign countries.

Yesterday, I heard countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and even Israel, and other countries. The truth needs to come out. And the government holds the truth. The cases that are sealed hold the truth. Jeffrey Epstein’s estate holds the truth.

The FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA hold the truth. And the truth we’re demanding come out on behalf of these women, but also as a strong message to every innocent child, teenager, woman, and man that is being held captive in abuse. This should never happen in America, and it should never be a political issue that divides us. And I want to thank Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie for doing something brave, crossing political boundaries for a very important fight.

And I’m honored to join both of them. And I am honored that Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert signed the discharge petition along with myself, and I ask my Republican colleagues not to choose just one path for justice and transparency and accountability, but I ask my Republican colleagues to choose every path for justice and accountability and transparency. And with that, I’d like to bring back Congressman Ro Khanna to start this important press conference.

Taylor Greene’s comments were a noticeable break from the Trump administration’s public memo on the case in early July, which said that the FBI and DOJ concluded that the long-rumored Epstein “client list” does not exist and that no further materials would be made public.
