For a moment, the room froze. Kaitlan Collins tried to ask about survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, and instead became the target of a presidential tirade. Trump mocked her, belittled her, questioned her honesty, and never once answered the question that started it all. His anger wasn’t just about a reporter; it was about what her words threatened to uncover.

Outside that room, millions of pages of Epstein files hang over Washington like a storm cloud—late, redacted, incomplete, and fiercely disputed. Victims’ lawyers say the government failed them; officials insist they’ve done enough. Between those two stories stands a president whose name appears again and again in the documents, demanding the country “move on.” But the survivors cannot move on. Their questions linger, their pain endures, and their truth is still waiting to be fully told.
