House Democrats bringing Jeffrey Epstein survivors to Trump's State of the Union speech

At least half a dozen House Democrats have invited survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to be their guests at President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night.

They include Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., one of the authors of the Epstein Transparency Act, the law that has resulted in the release of millions of files related to the politically connected financier.

Khanna said in a statement he's bringing Haley Robson, who has said Epstein trafficked her starting when she was 16, as his guest to the address to a joint session of Congress.

“Haley’s courageous fight is proof that this isn’t about politics, it’s about exposing America’s two-tiered system of justice and bringing accountability to the Epstein class involved in the horrific abuse of young girls," Khanna said. "She and her fellow survivors’ bravery was the catalyst for changing a rotten system and finally standing up for humanity and American values.”
