Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., expressed ongoing commitment to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, regardless of party leadership in the House. They discussed this on NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo show, focusing on transparency and survivor access to records.
Cuomo asked the lawmakers if the initiative has ended, as Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the DOJ review of Epstein files was finished. Mace indicated a discharge petition, named ‘Epstein 2.0,’ was close to acquiring necessary signatures. If approved by the House, it would enable survivors to obtain investigative documents. It would also allow state attorneys general, such as New Mexico’s, to pursue inquiries if federal officials opt out.
Subramanyam committed to continuing the inquiry, even if Democrats assume control. He emphasized enforcing subpoenas and mentioned plans to summon witnesses who previously evaded questions. Many earlier interviews lacked compulsory oath-taking, with certain witnesses refusing document submission and inquiry.
Cuomo suggested calling survivors for a private committee session to identify involved parties. Mace supported the idea, stressing survivor safety in that setting. Both lawmakers highlighted survivor fears of defamation lawsuits from influential figures. Mace mentioned introducing legislation to cover survivors’ legal fees in successful cases.
Subramanyam identified a broader issue, advocating for legal reforms to better protect victims of sexual violence.
