Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and a prominent advocate for survivors, is calling on Congress to release all of Epstein's case files. Speaking to MS NOW, Phillips, who was exploited by Epstein at 21, emphasized the importance of truth in the ongoing investigation. Phillips has been a vocal critic of the selective release of Epstein's files, which she believes has been used for political gain. She argues that the focus on Donald Trump has overshadowed the need for broader accountability, pointing out that there are many others who should be held responsible for their roles in the scandal. Phillips was one of several survivors who signed a heartfelt letter to lawmakers, urging them to consider how they would feel if their loved ones had been exploited. The letter, which Axios reported, reads: 'Imagine if they had been preyed upon. What would you want for them? ... When you vote, we will remember your decision at the ballot box.' The recent release of over 20,000 emails has validated the survivors' experiences, Phillips said, but she believes that the partial release is still far from the complete truth. While acknowledging that not all files will be made public immediately, Phillips expressed hope that the full release will happen eventually. Phillips also spoke out against the preferential treatment of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving time for her role in Epstein's trafficking operation. Maxwell was reportedly granted a 'puppy' in prison, which Phillips found particularly egregious. 'As a dog lover, I'm kind of furious that she has an animal to make her feel better,' she said. 'It doesn't feel good for our survivors for her to have preferential treatment.' Despite her criticism of Trump's involvement, Phillips emphasized that the focus should remain on the survivors, not the politician. 'I do think the public and the media focuses a little bit too much on Trump,' she said. 'There still is a lot to uncover in those emails that will come out shortly.'
