Epstein survivor backs bid to appoint court monitor, has 'no confidence' in Trump DOJ
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors who appeared in front of Capitol Hill late last year in support of legislation to release the investigative file urged a federal judge to appoint a so-called special master as a monitor to oversee the release of the files.
Lisa Phillips told a judge that she had “no confidence” that Trump’s Justice Department would comply with federal law mandating the release of the files, “already 30 days late” on the deadline “with no end in sight.”
“Based on my personal experience, the Department of Justice’s continued failure to comply with its statutory obligations has caused significant emotional distress and retraumatization, both to me and to other survivors with whom I regularly speak,” Phillips wrote.
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who spearheaded the effort to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, asked a federal judge overseeing Ghislaine Maxwell’s docket to appoint a special master earlier this month. Phillips filed her sworn declaration in support of that effort.
