Washington DC - Democratic Representative Ro Khanna recently revealed there will soon be another press conference with victims of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, as the House prepares to vote on releasing the files.
During an interview with The MeidasTouch Network on Tuesday, Khanna was asked if he believed Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson would "try to pull something to block the discharge petition by using some procedural maneuver."
Khanna explained that now that the government shutdown has ended, Arizona Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in, and seven days later, "we will get a vote on the Epstein files."
He also went on to give breaking news, revealing he and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who has been leading the effort with Khanna, are planning "another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol."
"There's going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class," Khanna continued.
"Rich and powerful people who abuse young girls, who think they live by a different set of rules – America is done with you," he added.
The congressman's effort comes as President Donald Trump has been under fire for refusing to release the files on Epstein, as he had repeatedly promised.
Many critics argue that he may be trying to protect himself, as he and Epstein were close friends for decades.
Epstein survivors demand the release of the files
Trump and his MAGA allies, most notably Speaker Johnson, have been desperately trying to block the release of the files, and the president himself has repeatedly insisted the scandal is a "hoax" orchestrated by Democrats.
In September, Khanna and Massie held the first press conference at the Capitol, during which a number of Epstein survivors recounted their stories and demanded the release of the files – despite Johnson's argument that doing so would "endanger" victims.
In his interview, Khanna went on to say that he is confident 60 Republicans will support the release vote, which will be "the first day Donald Trump is a lame duck."
