Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse — and Ghislaine Maxwell — said they never saw President Donald Trump engage in misconduct, even as scrutiny of his ties to Epstein continues.

In interviews with NBC News published Wednesday, several survivors and their families said they never saw either Trump or former President Bill Clinton involved in wrongdoing.

The video of the comments was published amid a Capitol Hill news conference where accusers called for the release of all Justice Department files related to Epstein.

Marina Lacerda, who identified herself as “Minor Victim 1” in Epstein’s 2019 federal indictment, described being brought to his Manhattan mansion as a 14-year-old. Annie Farmer alleged she was assaulted at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 1996.

“Not only did many others participate in the abuse, it is clear that many were aware of his interest in girls and very young women and chose to look the other way,” she said.

Survivors’ demands have added pressure to a bipartisan push in Congress, led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), to compel the Justice Department to release its full investigative files. The White House and GOP leaders have resisted, warning victims’ identities could be exposed, NBC News reported.

The transparency push coincided with newly released audio of an FBI interview with Maxwell, published Sept. 2 by the House Oversight Committee. The July 25, 2025, recording captured Maxwell describing Epstein’s sexual preferences and distancing Clinton from his orbit, The Dallas Express reported.

“I don’t recollect… ever seeing him in any other context,” Maxwell said of Clinton, explaining she never saw him at Epstein’s residences or private island. She described Clinton as “friendly on the plane” but added, “I didn’t see President Clinton being interested in Epstein. He was just a rich guy with a plane.”

Maxwell also said she never saw Trump behave inappropriately. The Justice Department last month released transcripts of her conversations with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she denied such claims and her counsel argued Trump was being scapegoated, according to NPR.

Trump, who socialized with Epstein and Maxwell in the 1990s before a falling out, dismissed the congressional discharge petition to release files as “a Democrat hoax.”

Survivors said they may create their own list of names if the government fails to act. “Together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world,” Lisa Phillips said.

The Republican-led Oversight Committee has already released more than 33,000 pages of documents and hours of video interviews, though many were previously public. On Sept. 3, lawmakers passed a measure directing the panel to continue its probe as an alternative to the discharge petition.

For survivors, the renewed attention is about accountability more than partisan fights. “The justice system was not designed to serve the powerful, it was meant to protect the people — and it’s time it started doing just that,” said Sky Roberts, brother of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a prominent accuser who died earlier this year.
