Rep. Nancy Mace Votes To Release All Epstein Files, Standing With Survivors Long Denied Justice
Survivor Congresswoman Leads Historic Fight to Break Decades of Silence: "This Is Bigger Than One Case—This Is a Reckoning"
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 18, 2025) — Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace cast a vote which echoes across decades of silence, pain, and injustice. Congresswoman Mace voted YES to release all Jeffrey Epstein files.
Congresswoman Mace stood as one of four Republicans who signed House Resolution 1434, the discharge petition to force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, Congresswoman Mace knows exactly how personal and painful this fight is. Rep. Mace has seen firsthand what happens when women come forward and seek justice — they get sued, smeared, and defamed by the Fake News media and by their abusers.
“Today is a historic day for every survivor across the country. I know the toll this trauma takes on a survivor's life and the courage it takes to come forward. The Epstein survivors' voices are not just a vessel for the justice they are seeking for themselves. They are a vessel for the justice owed to the millions of other survivors who will never get this day. Most of us never get the opportunity to face our accuser, let alone see them prosecuted or put behind bars,” said Congresswoman Mace. “This is a symbolic day because it represents a fight not only for these survivors, but for so many of us who feel like we will never see justice."
Congresswoman Mace recognizes President Donald Trump for stepping up when it mattered most—putting survivors like herself, and countless others across America, first by backing this critical fight for justice. In a world where powerful men have spent decades protecting predators and silencing victims, President Trump has chosen to stand with survivors.
"Real men protect women," Congresswoman Mace stated. "President Trump understands justice delayed is justice denied, and he's not afraid to stand with survivors when we need it most."
Earlier today, Congresswoman Mace met with Epstein survivors in a closed-door meeting held in her Washington, DC office. Rep. Mace listened as they described the moment their childhood ended, some at just 14 years old. She heard about their innocence stolen, the years they lost to their rights being violated, and the impossible burden of carrying this trauma too heavy for any human soul to bear alone.
Congresswoman Mace emphasized she will never allow survivors’ voices to be silenced and will continue to be a fighting force in Congress for every woman and girl who has endured abuse, assault, or exploitation.
“This is bigger than one case. This is a reckoning,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “These survivors represent every woman who was told to stay quiet, every girl who was made to feel it was her fault, every person who learned power protects predators while survivors are left to rebuild their shattered lives alone."
