WHAT DC PROVED
In June 2026, we moved 17,000 pounds of evidence to Washington and opened three blocks from the White House. Here's what happened:
- Six Epstein survivors participated in live panels
- Six Members of Congress — including Reps. Garcia, Frost, Ansari, Stansbury, Crockett and Senator Gallego — visited and met with survivors
- Reporters from CNN, the Washington Post, The Guardian, TAZ, RTL German TV, AFP, and The Telegraph covered it
- On The Media (WNYC), The Hill, WTOP, and four DC TV stations ran interviews

WHAT THE READING ROOM IS
The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is the only place in the country where you can stand inside the entirety of the released Epstein files.
3.5 million pages of court records, deposition transcripts, flight logs, victim statements, and government correspondence — printed, bound, and shelved in 3,437 numbered volumes.
- At the center: a tribute to the survivors and victims of Epstein's crimes — and a public message wall where every visitor can leave a note.
- Around the walls: the documented, fact-checked timeline of the decades-long, public-record relationship between Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
This isn't a website. It's a room you walk into. The magnitude becomes undeniable.
WHY TRUMP COUNTRY. WHY NOW.
These files don't divide the country along the usual lines.
The New York Times Magazine reported in June 2026 that Trump aides were in internal panic, with lawyers involved, over what's in the Epstein files. That panic isn't limited to Democrats — it runs straight through the Republican base. In Texas, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, and Florida, Trump voters are asking the same question everyone else is asking: why are these files still being buried?
We've built a proven, replicable attention machine. In every city we've opened, local press has covered it extensively. Local TV shows up. National outlets follow. The exhibit generates its own news cycle wherever it lands.
Bringing the Reading Room to red states isn't about preaching to the converted. It's about putting 3.5 million pages of DOJ-released court records in front of the people whose votes decide elections — and letting them draw their own conclusions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonprofit, the Institute for Primary Facts takes no position on candidates or parties. We take one position: the public paid for these documents, fought for them in court, and deserves to see them.

These documents were paid for by the public. Fought for by survivors. Released by court order.
The cover-up is ongoing. The files are already printed, bound, and on shelves.
Let's make some good trouble.
