House Democrats hold field hearing on Jeffrey Epstein abuse in West Palm Beach
A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein named Roza testified publicly for the first time at an unofficial House Democratic field hearing in West Palm Beach, Florida, describing how Epstein sexually abused her while under house arrest between 2009 and 2012. Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee organized the hearing to scrutinize the Trump administration's handling of Epstein files and keep the case in public focus, though the hearing carries no legal authority.
