An Epstein survivor, Marina Lacerda, has criticized First Lady Melania Trump's proposal to hold Congress meetings for victims to testify about their experiences, stating that it would retraumatize them and result in no meaningful action. Lacerada, who has previously described herself as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, questioned the legitimacy of the photos linking Melania to Epstein, which she believes originates in the Epstein files, making them difficult to dismiss as AI fabrication. She also questioned the proposed meetings for the survivors to testify under oath and suggested that they are supposed to testify in front of Congress under oath.
