BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.
— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@pressley.house.gov) 2025-07-23T22:50:47.437Z
As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.
Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

(7,309 posts)Is she saying that some Congressional Committee subpoenaed them, and how did that happen when Republicans are shutting every attempt at that down?
Never mind: I just saw the other thread that explains it....
WOW!

(98,468 posts)Just hours before the House was set to adjourn for its monthlong July recess, a federal law enforcement subcommittee of the powerful House Oversight Committee voted for the motion, introduced by Democrats. It passed in an 8-2 vote with the support of the three Republicans, along with the subpanel's four Democrats and Rep. Robert Garcia, the full committee's ranking member.
Mace posted on X, "We've just filed to redact the names of victims, any personally identifying information, and any CSAM (child sexual abuse material) in the Epstein files to protect the victims."
Later she posted, "Motion to subpoena in the Epstein case approved, 82."
