Members of the House Oversight Committee will meet privately next week with victims of Jeffrey Epstein, The Washington Post reported Friday, as Epstein’s victims and their attorneys have publicly lashed out against the Trump administration’s handling of the late financier’s case, including the DOJ’s recent interview with associate Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a minimum-security prison.

The House Oversight Committee is conducting a broader investigation into Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking and sexual abuse of more than 100 women, which has so far included subpoenaing the Justice Department for its files on Epstein, subpoenaing Epstein’s estate and calling for a variety of former government officials to testify.

Epstein victims and their attorneys have been broadly critical of the government’s handling of the case against him and the public demand for the government’s files on Epstein, accusing the Trump administration of continuing a government “cover-up” of the Epstein case and urging the DOJ to release its documents.

One anonymous victim called in a court filing for the government to “be completely transparent” and release the files in order to “be done with it and allow me/us to heal,” for instance, while attorney Jack Scarola told MSNBC that victims have repeatedly been “re-victimized” by the government’s “deception, delay and diversion.”
