Jeffrey Epstein Accusers Announce Plan to Compile and Release List of All His Known Associates
NEED TO KNOW
- A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors and their family members gathered in Washington D.C. on Sept. 3 at the invitation of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)
- The survivors announced their plans to compile and release a list of all known associates of the pedophile
- Rep. Massie and Rep. Khanna are hoping that the gathering will help them secure the two signatures they need from House members ordering the release of all Epstein documents
A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors announced a plan to release a list containing the names of all known associates of the billionaire sex offender at a rally in Washington D.C.
Lisa Phillips, who met Epstein in the 2000s, said at a press conference on the steps of the Capitol that she and other survivors were talking amongst themselves and compiling a master list of names of powerful men that associated with Epstein.
“Several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names,” said Phillips. “Many of us were abused by them — now, together as survivors we will confidentially compile the names we know were regularly in the Epstein world. and it will be done by survivors and for survivors.”
“No one else is involved,” Phillips continued. “Because history is watching and so are the women who will come after us.”
The news comes on the heels of the FBI and Department of Justice announcing that there is no list of Epstein’s purported clients after months of promising to release the list to the public.
The group was invited to Washington by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) for a rally on the steps of the Capitol.
Khanna said during the appearance that only a small fraction of information of the Epstein files had been released by government agencies — just 1%.
“There is something that is rotten in Washington,” Khanna said at a news conference. “We are demanding today in the discharge petition that all of the files be released.”
This came after the House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 pages of documents furnished by the Justice Department from the various investigations and legal proceedings involving or related to Epstein on Sept. 2. The majority of the documents were public court filings.
Members of the group also criticized DOJ and President Donald Trump for giving convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell a platform to spout what they all say are phony stories and lies in an attempt to minimize her crimes.
Survivors also claim the Justice Department never notified them that they’d be interviewing Maxwell or that she was subpoenaed to testify in front of the Oversight Committee, nor did any receive subpoenas.
Trump and his supporters in Congress turned their attention to Epstein earlier this year, demanding the release of a list containing the names of associates of the convicted child sex offender — until Trump’s own long-term connections to Epstein started to raise questions.
Massie said on Wednesday that his bill requiring the release of all Epstein documents had been signed by every Democrat and a handful of Republicans, but still required 2 more Republican signatures.
“The message is that there’s 200 Republicans who could do something to protect, to get justice for the victims and survivors, and I only need 2 of 200, and none of them are stepping up to the plate,” Massie said.
It is Massie’s hope that the gathering of survivors at the Capitol will help him get the two signatures he requires for his bill.
Massie is one of just four members of his party who have signed the bill at this time, along with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R – CO).
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said that he is opposing the release of these documents to protect “survivors and victims,” despite every survivor in attendance at the rally demanding the release of all documents.

The friendship between Epstein and Trump has never been a secret. The two men were photographed together a number of times and multiple Epstein survivors have recounted meeting the current commander-in-chief while with the financier. Trump’s name also appears multiple times on Epstein’s flight logs.
Maxwell also used her access to Mar-a-Lago to recruit Giuffre, who was working as a spa attendant at the time. Trump has never been accused of sexually assaulting any of Epstein’s underage victims.
The two men eventually had a falling out around 2004, purportedly after President Trump outbid Epstein on an oceanfront property in Palm Beach.
