'No leniency, no deals.' Epstein victims speak as pressure grows to release files

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – Women who say they were abused by the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein are speaking out to force the Justice Department to release all of the criminal investigative files in the case.

The demands pose a challenge for President Donald Trump and Republican congressional leaders who demanded more information about Epstein for years but now say full disclosure could hurt his victims.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, told reporters a vote to force the Justice Department to release more documents is no longer necessary after a House committee released 33,295 pages of subpoenaed records on Sept. 2.

Even they will find out that the format is purposely jiggered: the PDFs have been converted into images, 33,295 images, so that they can't be searched or key-worded.

Children in the eyes of the law.

The one woman said she was 'too old' at the age of 17. That's disgusting.
