WASHINGTON — Victims of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his incarcerated accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell said in a Wednesday press conference on Capitol Hill that they are putting together a list of the pair’s rich and powerful “clients” allegedly linked to their sex trafficking scheme. Lisa Phillips, a model who was introduced to the disgraced financier in the early 2000s, said that she and other survivors of the perverted Epstein-Maxwell axis have been discussing organizing a roster of influential associates who Phillips alleges “abused them.” “We know the names,” Phillips told reporters and supporters. “Many of us were abused by them.”Vice President JD Vance, second lady Usha pay their respects at scene of Minneapolis Catholic school shooting: photos

Epstein victims vow to compile ‘client list’ of their own after House panel drops thousands of documents

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has asked President Trump to meet with several victims of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who were in Washington, DC, Wednesday.
Greene told CNN that she "encouraged him already this morning that he should have these women in the Oval Office."
"I told him I'd be happy to set that up," she added, claiming that she did not receive any word back from the White House.
MTG told me she spoke with Trump today and urged him to meet with Epstein victims in the Oval Office.

Eric Adams and top White House officials are in talks over a potential job in President Trump’s administration — as pressure mounts for mayoral candidates to drop out and clear the lane for the strongest challenger against socialist Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned.
The conversations about a potential plum gig for Adams have reached high-level Trump officials, but it’s unclear if they have reached the president’s desk, sources said.


“I think Adams would be able to craft a position and a portfolio that’s to his liking,” a source close to Trump’s administration said.
“I’ve heard the Adams team wants it,” another source close to the White House said.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki got a military fly-over at the White House as President Trump welcomed the newly elected European leader to Washington on Wednesday.





The US has no plan to reduce its military presence in Poland, President Trump said Wednesday, waving off a reporter's question on the matter.

"If anything, we could put more there if they want," he joked.
President Trump revealed that New Orleans could be the next city to receive a surge of federal resources to tamp down crime — after Democrats in Illinois signaled the help wouldn't be welcome in Chicago.
"We're making a determination now, do we go to Chicago, or do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that's become quite tough, quite bad?" Trump said in the Oval Office.

"So we're going to be going to, maybe, Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks. It will take us two weeks — easier than DC," Trump said.
The president called on Chicago residents to clamor for federal intervention to address gun crimes including murder — after DC's Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser said Tuesday she would welcome a longer-term federal deployment in the capital after initially mixed local sentiment.

"But we can straighten out Chicago. All they have to do is ask us to go into Chicago, if we don't have the support of some of these politicians. But I'll tell you who is supporting us, the people of Chicago, and I sort of want them to let it be known they have incompetent people."
President Trump said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping "were hoping I was watching" their joint appearance at a large military parade in Beijing.
"I thought it was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very very impressive, but I understood the reason they were doing it. And they were hoping I was watching — and I was watching," Trump said in the Oval Office, as he hosted Polish President Karol Nawrocki.

"My relationship with all of them is very good. We're going to find out how good it is over the next week or two," he added, in reference to his attempts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.
The Chinese military parade marked the 80th anniversary of Japan's defeat by the US military in World War II — and featured chummy interactions between Putin, Xi and friendly leaders such as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Belarus' leader Aleksandr Lukashenko.

"I watched [Xi's] speech last night," Trump went on. "President Xi is a friend of mine, but I thought that the United States should have been mentioned last night during that speech, because we helped China very much."
President Trump explained Wednesday why 11 people were killed rather than detained for allegedly trafficking drugs in a boat off the coast of Venezuela, saying they "won't be doing it again" and will serve as a warning to others.

"You see the bags of drugs all over the boat, and they were hit. Obviously they won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again," Trump said in the Oval Office when asked why lethal force was used.
"When they watch that tape, they're going to say, 'Let's not do this.' We have to protect our country, and we're going to. Venezuela has been a very bad actor."
President Trump told reporters that the "Epstein hoax" was "going to keep going" because Democrats want to divert attention from his second-term record.

A bipartisan group in Congress is investigating the late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein — with the Republican-led House Oversight Committee releasing thousands of records Tuesday night and a group of victims speaking outside the Capitol Wednesday morning.
"We're having the most successful eight months of any president ever, and that's what I want to talk about. That's what we should be talking about, not the Epstein hoax," Trump said.
"It reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more, and nobody's ever satisfied."
The bilateral meeting between President Trump and Polish President Karol Nawrocki is underway.

After opening remarks, both men are taking questions from the press.
We will have highlights of what they say shortly.
US Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) are holding a press conference to discuss their Epstein Files Transparency Bill, where they'll be joined by survivors of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.
Khanna told Fox Digital that "people are going to be outraged" by what is revealed in the news conference.
"These victims haven't spoken for decades. When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers," Khanna said.
Khanna and Massie have co-sponsored a discharge petition to have all of the government files on Epstein publicly released.
The petition requires 218 signatures to force a House vote on a bill that would require the DOJ to release the files. Four Republicans have signed the petition, including Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
