ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir opened the latest broadcast with a headline that immediately grabbed the nation’s attention, and it could spell trouble for former President Donald Trump.
The program began with survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein speaking out on Capitol Hill. For many of these women, it was the first time stepping in front of cameras to demand action. Their message was clear: Congress and the White House should release the complete set of Epstein documents, including the list of high-profile figures allegedly connected to the case.
Muir told viewers: “The days of sweeping this under the rug are over.” One by one, survivors shared their painful stories and urged lawmakers from both parties to vote on making the Epstein files public.
Adding to the controversy, ABC correspondent Linsey Davis reported on the recent move of Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower-security prison in Texas. Survivors expressed outrage, saying her conditions are too lenient given the severity of her crimes.
At the White House, Donald Trump dismissed the matter entirely, calling the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax.” ABC’s Jay O’Brien continued live from Capitol Hill, where he covered the survivors’ press conference and interviews.
Clips from the broadcast circulated online, sparking heated reactions. Many viewers expressed support for the women and demanded transparency:
- “We need to stand with these courageous women!”
- “Trump thought this would fade, but it won’t.”
- “Release all the names and give these victims justice.”
Others pointed out the irony, noting that Trump once amplified Epstein allegations against political opponents but now rejects the release of files as a “hoax.”
The story continues to develop, but one thing is certain: public pressure to reveal the full Epstein documents is growing, and David Muir’s broadcast has reignited debate at the highest levels of politics.
