Trump Ties to Epstein Resurface: Survivor Calls Him Epstein’s “Biggest Brag” as GOP Rep Caught Saying He’s in the Files

Pressure continues to mount on Congress and the White House to release the full contents of the Jeffrey Epstein case files, as survivors, lawmakers, and even members of Donald Trump’s own party demand transparency about who was involved in the disgraced financier’s network.

At an emotional press conference on Capitol Hill, survivors of Epstein’s abuse — joined by family members of other victims and a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers — urged immediate passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would compel the Department of Justice to make all Epstein-related records public.

One of the most striking moments came from Chauntae Davies, an Epstein survivor, who spoke directly about the late financier’s ties to prominent political figures — specifically naming President Donald Trump.

“Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump,” Davies said. “It was his biggest brag, actually.”

Davies went on to describe a framed photo of Epstein with Trump that reportedly sat on Epstein’s desk during her first visit to his Palm Beach estate. She added that both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell often boasted about their connections to influential men.

While Democrats are expected to unanimously support the transparency bill — introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — at least two more Republican signatures are still needed to force a vote through a discharge petition. So far, four Republicans, including Massie and Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert, have signed on.

But resistance from the White House and the Department of Justice has raised alarms. Despite prior commitments to transparency, the Biden-appointed DOJ has reportedly slow-walked the release of key documents, citing legal hurdles, and recently stated that no further information would be released — contradicting past statements by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously claimed the so-called “client list” was “on my desk.”

Survivors and lawmakers say this stonewalling is unacceptable.

“The American people deserve to know the full extent of Epstein’s network,” Massie said. “Sunlight is the best disinfectant — and we should not be shielding abusers or their enablers, no matter how powerful.”

The push for transparency has been complicated by the frequent invocation of Trump’s name — both by survivors and members of Congress. At a recent Muscogee County GOP meeting in Georgia, Rep. Mike Collins was caught on a hot mic suggesting that Trump may indeed appear in the files.

“He’s in there,” Collins said, later clarifying that he believes Trump was referenced because he had previously cooperated with the FBI and had banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

Collins, who is also a candidate for the U.S. Senate, doubled down on his support for full disclosure:

“We need to release it. I have no problem releasing it.”
