The clip went viral on social media, with many people asking: what on earth could she have heard to have a reaction like that?

I can’t imagine the horror stories that were unveiled.
Looking at her emotional distressed expression, it must have been incredibly painful.

However, Rep. Mace addressed the situation on her own X page.

She says that she had a panic attack after hearing victims’ testimonies, due to her own sexual assault experiences.

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.

Multiple Jeffrey Epstein victims gave their testimonies before Congress this afternoon, as the House Oversight Committee’s investigation continues.

We don’t have many details yet about the tales these survivors had to tell.

The Hill has more on the meeting:

Several Epstein accusers joined members of Congress for a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, as the House Oversight Committee continues its investigation into the federal government’s handling of the Epstein case.

Democrats called for a hearing with Epstein’s accusers, saying they have firsthand accounts that “may not be sufficiently represented in the Department of Justice’s records.” The Oversight Committee also subpoenaed the Justice Department for documents related to the case, which the department began turning over last month.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters ahead of the meeting that it’s important to hear from the victims and to promise them transparency in the investigation.

“Yes, it’s for us to hear from them, to express our deep sympathy for what they’ve been made to endure and ensure that we have been and always will be for maximum transparency, for justice to be brought for all those engaged in these evils and to ensure that happens as quickly as possible,” Johnson said Tuesday.
