Lisa Phillips, who says she was in her early 20s when she first met Jeffrey Epstein and endured years of abuse from the late-financier and others in his vast network, stood in front of the steps of the US Capitol in early September. Flanked by other Epstein survivors, high-powered lawyers and a handful of members of Congress, Phillips ended her brief remarks with an announcement .
“Us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world,” she said
