Release of Epstein Emails

• 🗣️ She reiterated that President Trump has denied involvement and cited victim Virginia Giuffre's statements about Trump's friendly interactions.

Discharge Petition for Epstein Files

• 🚀 An effort is underway using a discharge petition to bypass the Speaker of the House and force a vote on compelling the Department of Justice to release all Epstein files.

• ✍️ A newly elected Representative, Adelita Grijalva, is expected to provide the final signature upon being sworn in, moving the petition forward.
