Sky Roberts Urges Congress to Release Epstein Files Ahead of House Vote
Sky Roberts, Virginia Giuffre's brother, tears up at a Capitol press conference as lawmakers prepare to vote on releasing Epstein investigation files.
Sky Roberts, Virginia Giuffre's younger brother, spoke through tears at a press conference outside the Capitol on the day the House is set to vote on a bipartisan bill demanding the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. 'My sister is not a political tool for you to use, these survivors are not political tools for you to use,' Roberts said, addressing lawmakers. 'These are real stories, real trauma and it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act. Vote yes.' Virginia Giuffre, who had alleged she was trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to high-profile individuals, including the former Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, died by suicide in April. The upcoming House vote would compel the Justice Department to publish 'all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ's possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,' including flight logs, travel records, and references to individuals named or referenced in connection with the case. Supporters say releasing the files would ensure survivors' voices are heard and the truth prevails, while opponents warn about potential risks and the handling of sensitive information. The moment underscores a broader push for transparency in the Epstein investigation and a continued demand for accountability from lawmakers and institutions involved in the case.
