A TOP Trump ally blasted now is a “good time to discuss prosecuting Prince Andrew” after leaving an Epstein hearing in tears.
Nancy Mace, the US representative for South Carolina’s 1st congressional district, was reported to have a “full blown panic attack” when listening to victims tell their story.

She wrote on X afterward: “Now seems like a good time to discuss prosecuting Prince Andrew for any and all potential crimes on U.S. soil.”
The US politician, who left the hearing early, also explained: “Since it’s already being reported – Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early.
“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe.
“I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. God bless all survivors.”
It comes as sex trafficking survivors who suffered at the hands of Epstein and his partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell gathered to campaign for further protections for abuse victims after the files were released.
They were joined by politicians like GOP Representative Thomas Massie, who has authored a discharge petition to release all of the files.
The petition has garnered some bipartisan support from Republican outliers like Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace.
In the press conference held outside Capitol Hill, one survivor suggested that the women were ready to pen their own client list of abusers who frequented Epstein’s private jet and island.
“We know the names. Many of us were abused by them,” said model Lisa Phillips, who previously claimed that her friend had slept with Prince Andrew on the orders of Epstein.
“We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world.”
The victims went on to claim that Ghislaine, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for conspiring to sexually abuse minors, was moved to a cushy facility.
Anouska De Georgiou, who has previously said that she was sucked into Epstein’s orbit in the 90s when she was working as a teenage model, said she was “horrified” to learn Maxwell is in a lower security facility.
She called the prison a “holiday camp.”
“This woman abused children,” she said at the conference.
When asked about Maxwell being potentially pardoned, Georgiou said it was “one of my worst nightmares.”
Sky Roberts, the brother of whistleblower Virginia Giuffre, who was one of the most prominent Epstein accusers, also spoke out, months after his beloved sister died by suicide.
Roberts said that the issue isn’t political, but was about “doing what’s right.”
“And this is about ensuring that the future we leave behind isn’t one where the powerful can hide behind their wealth, their influence and their money to evade justice,” he said.
Meanwhile, at a news conference held after the victims spoke, Donald Trump blasted the victims’ statements and said, “This is a Democrat hoax that never ends.”
He compared it to the JFK assassination files that were released in March, and said, “We gave them everything […] nobody is ever satisfied.”
“These are sick people, and I think we’re going to have a tremendous midterm,” he told reporters.
