100 VICTIMS is astounding. Even more astounding, that's less than 10% of Epstein and Maxwell's victims.
As many as 100 Epstein victims will attend Washington rally Wednesday
The rally comes as lawmakers Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) want a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein files.
