Epstain Remains on American History as Victims Descend on Capitol Hill, Demand Accountability
Nearly two dozen of Epstein’s victims descended on Capitol Hill in a moment that could mark a turning point in one of the darkest scandals of our time. They are not just demanding justice—they are demanding accountability for the powerful perpetrators who have, for far too long, hidden behind sealed files and institutional protection. This testimony could ignite the long-overdue reckoning America has been waiting for.
Investigative reporter Nick Bryant is the man who first published Epstein’s black book and flight logs back in 2015. He lives this case every day and has a Ph.D. in all things Epstein.

Few journalists understand the stakes better than Nick Bryant. More than a decade ago, in 2012, Bryant obtained Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous black book and flight logs. In 2015, he published them, exposing a network of high-profile names and raising urgent questions about who knew what—and when. With what can only be described as a Ph.D. in “Epsteineology,” Bryant is one of the foremost experts on this case, having spent years piecing together the evidence, the cover-ups, and the devastating stories of survivors.
What makes this historic is not only the survivors’ courage but also the bipartisan backing that is emerging. Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) are spearheading the push to unseal Epstein’s files, but their efforts could soon become the tip of a spear for a much broader coalition. Bryant argues that if there was ever an issue ripe for bipartisan consensus, it is the exposure of child sex trafficking networks and the protection of children from predatory elites. In a political climate fractured along nearly every fault line, this is one area where Americans from left to right can—and must—agree.
“If ever there was a fight between good and evil,” Bryant says, “this is it and sides must be chosen.”
Bryant’s voice is crucial at this moment. He can provide historical perspective on how long survivors have been silenced, how institutions have enabled the cover-up, and why the public release of Epstein’s files could finally shift the balance of power from the perpetrators to the victims. He insists this is not about politics—it’s about justice, accountability, and exposing criminals who have operated with impunity for far too long.
As the victims step forward and Congress weighs its next move, Nick Bryant can cut through the noise and illuminate what this moment means—not only for Epstein’s survivors, but for America’s willingness to confront corruption at the highest levels.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist. He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally.
I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity. In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
