A progressive figure from Silicon Valley is seeking an alliance with First Lady Melania Trump to unveil a treasure trove of undisclosed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, while also advocating for King Charles to engage directly with the victims of the deceased sex offender.

Ro Khanna, a Democratic Congressman aged 49, envisions this unexpected collaboration with the First Lady as a crucial step toward illuminating Epstein’s clandestine activities.

“Should Melania wish to aid in the release of these files, and ensure that survivors receive justice, I would gladly collaborate with her,” stated the California representative during an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.

In a startling turn of events last week, Melania, 55, delivered an unexpected address from the White House, clarifying that she was not among Epstein’s victims. Her remarks captivated the audience as she asserted that “Epstein was not alone,” urging Congress to conduct public hearings for the victims of the notorious pedophile.

“The most significant phrase from the First Lady was, ‘Epstein was not alone,'” Khanna remarked.

“The truth is, Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell were not the sole perpetrators of abuse against these young girls. Numerous affluent and influential individuals were involved, and the First Lady’s statements have served to affirm the experiences of these survivors,” he added.

‘The Justice Department has not prosecuted a single person who’s named in these files, and these survivors will tell you they’re people who’ve raped them in these files, and they haven’t opened a single investigation,’ Khanna said. 

He said the admission from the First Lady ‘contradicted Donald Trump, who said that the survivors were a hoax.’ Khanna also urged her to call for the publishing of millions of unreleased files. 

Congressman Ro Khanna sees an unlikely alliance with First Lady Melania Trump to push for the release of additional files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. He is also calling on King Charles to meet with victims of Epstein’s abuse during his upcoming visit to the US at the end of April

The Democrat noted how he previously worked with Melania Trump on the Take It Down Act, a bill to protect young people against explicit sexual imagery made about them using AI. 

‘I hope she’ll call now on her own husband’s administration to release the remaining 3 million files. Britain has asked for those three million files, and I hope she will call for the attorney general to start prosecutions.’

‘I’m just asking for what the First Lady is asking for: release the remaining files to expose who the powerful men are that the survivors named that raped or abused them, start investigations,’ he continued. 

Khanna has called repeatedly for King Charles to meet with Epstein’s victims, noting how his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had close ties to the late sex offender.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested earlier this year on suspicion of abusing public office after Epstein files indicated he may have passed on private financial information to the predator. 

The former prince, who was stripped of his titles and honors in October due to his Epstein connections, has denied all wrongdoing. The criminal investigation into him remains ongoing. 

Still, there are myriad photos of Andrew with Epstein and his associates, including Virginia Giuffre, who accused the former royal of sexually abusing her when she was 17. 

Giuffre and Mountbatten-Windsor later settled in court for an undisclosed amount and no admission of liability on Andrew’s behalf.

Khanna told the Daily Mail that King Charles ‘owes it’ to the Epstein victims to meet with them

Khanna has met many of Epstein’s victims while advancing his bill – the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law passed and has since forced the Justice Department to publish its files on the financier. 

The Democrat says the victims want to meet with King Charles. 

‘King Charles’s brother has been accused of abusing some of these young girls, and of course, there’s now a criminal matter. The monarchy owes it to the survivors to show that they’re not dispensable.’

Khanna told the Daily Mail that Charles doesn’t have to discuss the matters regarding his brother, but the meeting would show the crown’s commitment to righting a wrong. 

‘This is about him as head of state, recognizing that the survivors deserve to be treated with respect, and they deserve to be acknowledged and given his own family’s involvement, he owes it to them.’   

‘This is a question of the relevance of the British monarchy. Are they just going to be a vestige of the past, a symbol of elite impunity, where some people think they’re the better than the rest of us? Or is King Charles going to meet with the survivors and say that they that he’s going to be a voice for human rights?’

The monarch has made limited comments on his brother’s connection to Epstein, but did release an extraordinary statement in February following Andrew’s arrest. 

‘I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,’ King Charles said in a February statement, notably not referring to Andrew as his brother. 

‘As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all,’ the statement continued. 

He also voiced support for the ongoing criminal investigation into Andrew. 

However, when peppered with questions from press about his brother’s arrest, the King has stayed mum.  

King Charles will be visiting the US for a four-day visit starting on April 27. 

During the trip, the monarch is scheduled to meet with families of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks and Native Americans in Virginia. 

There has been no announcement that King Charles or Queen Camilla will meet with Epstein’s victims on their visit.
