A year-long congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network has yielded little accountability, with survivors frustrated by partisan gridlock and the Justice Department's handling of case files. - Lawmakers interviewed high-profile figures including former President Bill Clinton and Pam Bondi, but Democrats accuse Republicans of allowing officials to dodge tough questions.
- Survivors say the government has failed to protect them, citing the chaotic release of files containing nude photos and personal information. - The U.S.
reckoning has been milder than in Europe, where senior officials have resigned over Epstein ties; at least eight American figures have lost positions of power. - The investigation continues, with plans to interview Bill Gates, Leon Black, and others, but survivors demand acknowledgment and action to prevent future abuse.
