Epstein Survivor Calls for Trump’s Impeachment over Epstein Files: ‘I Redact Any Support I’ve Ever Given to Him’

Haley Robson, a Jeffrey Epstein survivor who pushed this year for the release of the so-called “Epstein files,” says she’s now cutting ties with President Donald Trump and key members of his administration.

“I am no longer supporting this administration,” Robson, a Republican, told CNN’s Pamela Brown on Tuesday, Dec. 23. “I redact any support I’ve ever given to him, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel. I am so disgusted with this administration.”

Robson has previously described meeting Epstein when she was 16 in West Palm Beach, Fla. This year, she became one of the most visible advocates for the House of Representatives’ Epstein Files Transparency Act, appearing twice outside the U.S. Capitol to share her story and demand that the government reveal what it knows about powerful men allegedly involved in Epstein’s *** trafficking operation.

What the law required — and why the deadline became a flashpoint

The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the House with a sweeping 427–1 vote on Nov. 18, and the Senate unanimously sent it to the president’s desk hours later. Trump signed it into law on Nov. 19, triggering a 30-day countdown for the government to release all unclassified materials tied to the Epstein probe — so long as the release wouldn’t directly endanger an active investigation or expose sensitive information about victims.

As the deadline approached, the Department of Justice said it could not fully comply on time, citing the need to review hundreds of thousands of pages and apply redactions where necessary.

“There’s a lot of eyes looking at these and we want to make sure that when we do produce the materials we are producing, that we are protecting every single victim,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News on Dec. 19. He added that staff “have been working tirelessly since [the bill was signed] to make sure that we get every single document that we have within the Department of Justice, review it and get it to the American public.”

When the first batch of files was released on Friday, Dec. 19, it largely consisted of photos — including images showing former President Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Michael Jackson. None of the public figures shown in those photos were accused of criminal behavior, and the images were released without context.

More documents followed, but many included heavy redactions that obscured major details.

Among the materials was what appeared to be an FBI intake report from an October 2020 interview that contained an uncorroborated rape allegation against Trump — which the DOJ described as “untrue and sensationalist.”

The DOJ website also briefly included questionable visual material, including what appeared to be a clearly fake video purporting to show Epstein’s jail-cell suicide. That video was later removed.

A chaotic release fuels calls for resignations — and impeachment

Reacting to the rollout, Robson told CNN: “I think that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel both need to resign, and I would love to see No. 47 get impeached over this.”

She appeared to reference comments Trump made on Dec. 22, when he described it as a “terrible thing” that photos of famous people were being circulated, arguing that some “had nothing to do with Epstein” and may have merely crossed paths with him.

Robson said she understood the point — but questioned why, if a photo alone doesn’t prove wrongdoing, the administration has resisted broader transparency.

“If you’re telling the public and the world and the survivors that just because somebody is in a picture with him doesn’t automatically mean they were involved in the crimes against children — which I understand, and I get that fully — then why are you so scared to release the files and why has there been so much resistance?” she said.

“If it’s just a picture, why are you going above and beyond to hide the identities of these men?”

Robson’s account of how she says she was drawn in

Robson has said she was pulled into Epstein’s world in 2002 by a high school classmate, at a time when she was already coping with the effects of childhood trauma.

“I was told the more you do, the more you make,” she told CBS News in 2021. “I was told it would be possibly in your bra and underwear, but it would just be a massage.”

She alleges Epstein masturbated in front of her and fondled her during a massage, but she says she didn’t let it go further. She also described not understanding at the time how to categorize what had happened. “I did not understand that I was being ******* abused. I didn’t understand how to really classify that. Is it ****** assault? Is it rape? Is it molestation? I am 16,” she recalled.

Robson has also said Epstein offered her $200 for each girl she introduced to him, and that she recruited eight other girls without fully understanding the harm.

“When I was 16, I felt like, ‘Hey, you know, I made money like, do you guys want to make money,’” she said.

“The guilt will never go away,” she told CBS. “There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about the other girls.”
