A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse is publicly rebuking House Speaker Mike Johnson, accusing him of indulging in “theatrics” and delaying justice for victims during one of the most consequential congressional votes related to the case in years.

Haley Robson, a Florida woman who was groomed and abused by Epstein as a teenager and later testified in related proceedings, spoke with CNN’s Pamela Brown on Wednesday. She said she’s reached a breaking point — not just with Johnson, but also with President Donald Trump, whom she voted for and once trusted to champion the release of the Epstein files.

The bill requiring the Justice Department to release its full archive of Epstein-related documents — including internal communications and investigative materials — passed both chambers of Congress Tuesday after months of political maneuvering. But for Robson, the path to that vote was marked by what she described as obstruction, delay, and political posturing that retraumatized survivors who have waited decades for transparency.

Robson pointed directly to Johnson’s refusal to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) for 44 days during the government shutdown. Grijalva’s absence stalled a key discharge petition that ultimately forced Tuesday’s vote.

“You will never convince me that shutting down the government for 50 days — and in those 50 days was when we needed them the most — had nothing to do with delaying this,” Robson said. “We don’t know what happened during that time. We just know that you wouldn’t swear in Adelita Grijalva.”

When the House finally voted, Johnson publicly framed the legislation as a “political show vote.” Robson — who was in the chamber at the time — called that characterization insulting.

“The only theatrics I saw were from him,” she said. “This is not a hoax. There is no theater coming from us or the survivors. I’m appalled by him in general, and I’ve lost a lot of respect.”

Robson reserved some of her sharpest criticism for Trump, who had campaigned in 2024 on releasing the Epstein files but recently wavered on the issue before abruptly reversing course earlier this week.

“The flip-flop has been nothing short of nauseating and embarrassing,” she said. “If you want to clear your name once and for all… follow through with your promises. At the end of the day, we only have integrity and our word.”

After backlash — and pressure from conservative lawmakers who broke with him — Trump urged House Republicans on Sunday to vote for the bill’s release. Johnson followed hours later.

Johnson has argued that releasing the files risks exposing survivors who wish to remain anonymous. But Robson dismissed that explanation as misleading.

“Survivors who don’t want to be public are Jane Does,” she said. “They’ve been protected this whole time. Their names have been redacted.”

The bill now heads to the White House, where Trump has said he will sign it.

For Robson, the vote’s passage is not a victory so much as an overdue step — one she says was made harder by the very people who promised to stand with survivors.

“It’s very overdue,” she said. “But we’re here. And now we need the truth.”
