Epstein Survivors Will Attend Trump's State of the Union Address Next Week

Susan J. Demas and Jess Michaels

Jess Michaels attended Pam Bondi’s hearing on Capitol Hill last week where she was asked about the administration’s handling of the Epstein files. The Attorney General, who demanded people talk about how amazing the stock market was doing, had three chances to look Epstein survivors in the eyes and apologize.

Bondi refused.

But while the administration says it’s time to move on, survivors like Jess are still fighting for justice. And she told Lincoln Square exclusively that they’re coming back to Washington next week to attend Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, February 24.

Jess is planning to come back and tell us how the night goes — and about the launch next week of her new app, #WithYouToo, which aims to help us give survivors in our lives the support they need.

It's "time to move on" when the girls you auctioned, trafficked, raped, and killed say it is.

Marimar Martinez and families of those murdered by ICE. I'm hoping for that. Wrote some congresspeople.
