A stunned Capitol Hill press conference fell into heavy silence on September 3, 2025, as Lisa Phillips, abused by Jeffrey Epstein at 21, stood defiant, her voice trembling yet firm: “We know the names.”
Phillips, a former model groomed on Epstein’s Little Saint James island in the early 2000s, joined survivors Annie Farmer and Haley Robson at the event pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act (signed November 19, deadline December 19). Eyes locked on cameras, she detailed Epstein’s assaults, Maxwell’s presence, and elite parties: “They flew in, dined, watched—some participated. We know the names. Flight logs, photos, our memories—they’re there.”
The room hushed as Phillips added: “Virginia Giuffre named Andrew 88 times in Nobody’s Girl—her truth toppled him. We carry her fight. Release unredacted files—no more protection for the powerful.” Farmer nodded, voice cracking: “We were girls—21, 16, 14. They knew.”
The conference, amid mounting pressure post-Giuffre’s suicide April 25 at 41, amplified demands for full disclosure. Phillips’ defiance—trembling yet unbreakable—trended #WeKnowTheNames with 3.5 million posts (82% supportive). As December 19 loomed, her words ensured Epstein’s horrors—once buried in glamour—faced unrelenting light, survivors’ knowledge the weapon no redaction could erase.
