But back to the news, we have to talk about this PSA that Epstein survivors released on Super Bowl Sunday calling out Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Right, it starts with text noting that even months after the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed, 3 million files have still not been released to the public. With redactions then covering the faces of survivors, who say:

“After years of being kept apart, we are standing together. Standing. Standing. Standing together. Because this girl deserves the truth. Because she deserves the truth. Because we all deserve the truth.

And then it ends with text urging viewers to demand that Bondi tell the truth. The women made the ad with the help of World Without Exploitation, which also has a petition in support of the survivors right now. And while some reports suggest it did air in some markets, others say it was primarily intended to be a digital ad that capitalized on the attention of the Super Bowl. With tons of politicians sharing it, saying it was the most important ad of the day.

And it comes at a crucial time, because starting this week, members of Congress can review the Epstein files unredacted. The files will be made available on computers in a room at the DOJ building, and while lawmakers cannot bring electronics into this room, they are allowed to take notes on what they see. Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna will be going today, with Massie actually asking Americans which files he should prioritize.

And among the top responses, you have one file where a redacted email address tells Epstein: “Thank you for a fun night...Your littlest girl was a little naughty.” As well as another email from a redacted address mentioning a “torture video.” And an FBI intake sheet referencing a child’s body being buried in New Mexico.

So we will have to see lawmakers end up saying after viewing the files, if it leads to another push for everything else to be released, if any major questions actually get answered. Because today, Ghislaine Maxwell was supposed to answer some of those big questions, but gave us nothing. Right, she had a virtual deposition with the House Oversight Committee and ended up pleading the fifth on every single ask.

Though, it is technically still possible she might answer questions in the future, she just has one major condition, with the lawyer saying: " Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump." He even said Maxwell would provide testimony claiming that both Trump and former President Bill Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing.
