   Marjorie Taylor Greene Promises to Read ‘Every Damn Name’ of Epstein   
   Clients as Trump Decries ‘Democrat Hoax’ | Video   
      
   The Georgia congresswoman’s defense comes as House members demand the DOJ   
   release its collection of Jeffrey Epstein files   
      
      
   A bipartisan cadre of House members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene   
   (R-GA), urged the Justice Department on Wednesday to release a trove of   
   files related to Jeffrey Epstein, with Greene vowing to read the names of   
   his clients from the House floor if they’re provided to her.   
      
   Greene, appearing alongside Epstein victims and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and   
   Thomas Massie (R-KY) near the U.S. Capitol steps, defended the women   
   against criticism that they could name their abusers themselves. She said   
   the women had gone through their own traumas and would have to live with   
   the fear of retaliation if they outed those who abused them.   
      
   “These are some of the richest, most powerful people in the world that   
   could sue these women into poverty and homelessness,” Greene said. “Yeah,   
   it’s a scary thing to name names, but I will tell you, I’m not afraid to   
   name names. So, if they want to give me a list, I will walk in that   
   Capitol, on the House floor, and I’ll say every damn name that abused these   
   women. I can do that, for them.”   
      
   Greene represents one of the few GOP defectors who signed onto Khanna and   
   Massie’s bill urging the DOJ to release the files. Other signees include   
   Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Nancy Mace (R-SC).   
      
   Her promise comes as President Donald Trump and his administration seek to   
   move away from the Epstein story, which they turned into a maelstrom in   
   July after the DOJ said it would not disclose any more files related to the   
   case. Massie and Khanna have since organized a bipartisan effort to get the   
   DOJ to release its entire collection of files, needing 218 signatories to   
   pass the House.   
      
   One of the victims on Wednesday shared how Epstein would brag about his   
   friendships with high-profile people — Trump chief among them.   
      
   “His biggest brag, forever, was that he was very good friends with Donald   
   Trump,” survivor Chauntae Davies said. “He had an 8-by-10 framed picture of   
   him on his desk with the two of them. Like they were very close.”   
      
   The White House did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for   
   comment on Greene’s remarks. Trump, however, continued to downplay the   
   story during an Oval Office press event on Wednesday, labeling it a   
   “Democrat hoax” meant to distract from his accomplishments.   
      
   “It’s really a Democrat hoax, because they’re trying to get people to talk   
   about something that’s totally irrelevant to the success that we’ve had as   
   a nation since I’ve been president,” he said.   
      
   Greene, meanwhile, told CNN she urged Trump to host the Epstein victims at   
   the White House. “They deserve to be there,” she said.
