Before King Charles’s address to Congress, Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who is leading the crusade against Jeffrey Epstein, suggested the monarch could acknowledge the sex offender’s victims in his speech.
“I met with the British ambassador – the British ambassador suggested that the king acknowledge Epstein’s survivors in his address to Congress today,” he says, addressing Epstein’s victims.
Khanna reiterates: “I hope his sycophants will not extract acknowledgment from his text, and I sincerely hope King will acknowledge the survivors – the Epstein survivors – in his speech to our nation and Congress this afternoon.”
The statement follows efforts by the Democrat politician to push Charles to publicly recognize victims of Epstein’s abuse.
However, reports say there is a resistance from palace officials, who are concerned that a meeting – which was previously requested but rejected by the royal team – by the monarch, in an official capacity, over the matter in which her brother Andrew has been legally embroiled would jeopardize legal proceedings.
Yet it’s unclear what impact any of Charles’s comments during the speech to Congress will have.
