The anti-trafficking organization World Without Exploitation has released a PSA video featuring survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and is urging Congress to release all remaining Epstein files. The video it comes just days before the House is scheduled to vote on a bill that would force the full release of Justice Department documents related to Epstein.
The PSA features 11 women holding photos of themselves at the age they first met Epstein. A few wipe away tears or struggle through their lines as they tell their stories.
“There are about a thousand of us,” says one woman.
“It’s time to bring the secret out of the shadows.”
The video repeats a common message:
“It’s time to bring the secret out of the shadows.”
It’s time to shine a light into the darkness.”
The PSA ends with a message on the screen: “Five messages and we’re still in the dark.”
This is followed by a call for viewers to contact Congress to demand the release of the files.
The campaign directs the public to a link that sends automated letters of support to lawmakers.
Political pressure is growing
The PSA comes as Congress prepares to vote on high stakes. The House will consider legislation to compel the release of the DOJ’s entire cache of documents linked to Epstein, years after the disgraced financier died by suicide in federal custody in 2019.
Recently, President Donald Trump abruptly reversed his opposition to releasing the files.
Trump previously dismissed the release of Epstein-related emails as a Democratic “hoax” and claimed that “some stupid” and “stupid” Republicans pounced on him.
His sudden shift marks a significant political moment, as Trump has long resisted further disclosures.
The White House denies the allegations
Last week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump amid renewed scrutiny sparked by the release of emails mentioning him.
The emails “prove absolutely nothing, other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” Leavitt told reporters.
Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes. Epstein was associated with many wealthy and politically connected figures before his arrest.
Ongoing investigation
Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 and is reportedly seeking a reduced sentence.
Last Friday, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Epstein’s ties to political figures and financial institutions, targeting Democrats as well.
