Epstein Survivor Alleges Being “Gaslit” During Meeting with Acting AG

In a recent interview on MS NOW, Jess Michaels, a survivor of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, spoke out about a meeting she and other survivors held with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Michaels characterized the interaction as “gaslighting,” stating that Blanche repeatedly dismissed the possibility that existing Department of Justice files could lead to any new or reopened investigations.

According to Michaels, the group attempted to provide specific information and inquiries regarding the files, but were met with persistent refusal from the acting Attorney General to engage with the evidence. Michaels described the experience as “hitting a brick wall,” noting that the survivors felt skipped over and ignored despite their efforts to seek accountability. The meeting has drawn renewed attention to the ongoing frustrations of survivors who argue that critical information within federal records remains unexamined.
