The so-called "missing minute" from the security camera video of the jail tier where sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein died has been found and made public. This as new New Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell survivors speak out. The survivors say they are compiling their own list of Epstein's associates, forming their own black book to distribute to the public, even as they call for lawmakers to release more files. On Tuesday evening, 33,000 pages and several videos were made public by the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, which had subpoenaed the DOJ. Two members of the House, Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Ro Khanna of California, are trying to force a vote on compelling the DOJ to release all documents. Speaking at an event in Washington DC, the survivors called for the release of all Epstein files as victims describe the 'disturbing world' of Jeffrey Epstein. Annie Farmer, now 46, says she was taken to New Mexico at 16 and her sister reported the abuse, but nothing was done. During the presser, victims stood in front of a sign that read: "Epstein Files Transparency Act," the name of a bill that some lawmakers want to pass in Congress.
