But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.

It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going.

I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.

Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. Several prominent male executives

resigned from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course,

this doesn't amount to guilt, but we still must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth.

I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein

with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors.

Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress

with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story

in public if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered

into the congressional record. Then, and only then, we will have the truth. Thank you.
