LIVE: Epstein Survivors Testify Under Oath in Palm Beach | House Oversight Hearing (May 12, 2026)

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are holding a historic "shadow hearing" in West Palm Beach, Florida, to hear direct testimony from Jeffrey Epstein survivors. Led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia, this hearing marks the first time survivors are entering their accounts into the official Congressional Record since the unsealing of the massive 2026 "Epstein Files." In this hearing: First-hand Accounts: Survivors, including Marina Lacerda, testify about the grooming and abuse that occurred at Epstein’s Palm Beach estate. The Missing Files: Lawmakers address the 2.5 million pages of documents still allegedly withheld by the DOJ. Political Accountability: Fresh scrutiny on the 2008 non-prosecution agreement and the ties of high-profile figures named in the recent document dumps.
