"I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times," Roza, a former model, testified in a hearing on Tuesday, May 12. "While the rich and powerful remain protected by redactions, my name was exposed to the world."

Some Lawmakers Agree DOJ Is in 'Cover-Up Mode'
Lawmakers claimed the Department of Justice shielded powerful figures in the Epstein files release.
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin was among the few members of Congress permitted to review the unredacted Epstein documents ahead of Bondi's February testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
He voiced concerns over the limited time lawmakers were given to examine the millions of pages of documents, suggesting the delayed release may have been intended to shield powerful figures whose names appeared throughout the files.
"I think that the Department of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for many months and has been trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug," he said.
Melania Trump Blasted Epstein Ties
Melania Trump blasted 'lies' linking to her to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
More recently, Melania Trump addressed speculation about her relationship with Epstein and his long-time co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell last month.
"I've never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach,” she said in a six-minute speech from the White House. “At the time, I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings.”
She emphasized, "I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant. Fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now. Be cautious about what you believe: These images and stories are completely false."
