The news conference is part of the effort by Khanna and Massie to pass through the House a bill requiring the Justice Department to release its files on the Epstein case. “These victims haven’t spoken for decades. When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers,” Khanna said Monday in a Fox News Digital interview. “My belief is, when the American people actually hear the victims for the first time, they are going to sympathize, their hearts are going to be broken, and all the victims are saying is for closure,” he predicted. Khanna argued that “there are a lot of other rich, powerful men, politicians, business leaders, who have committed abuse and who have not been held accountable. That’s what we’re going to hear on Sept. 3, and people are going to be outraged, and I don’t see how, after that, the House can’t vote for the release of these files.” Watch Khanna’s comments below: BREAKING: Democratic Rep.

The pair is determined to press on, even as the Justice Department transmits certain files over to the House Oversight Committee pursuant to an August subpoena. Khanna told Welker that he is confident the bill has the numbers to reach the finish line on the House floor. “I’m very confident it will,” Khanna said. “I spoke to Congressman Massie. You had us both on a few weeks ago. We will have the petition live on September 2. We have all 212 Democrats committed to signing it. He has 12 Republicans. Only six of them have to sign it.”
