Jena‑Lisa Jones, who says she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, has publicly expressed regret for backing Donald Trump in the 2024 election. In a March 26 2026 podcast interview she explained that she voted for Trump because his campaign promised to release the “Epstein files” that survivors hoped would bring accountability. “Trump ran his whole freakin’ election on the release of these freakin’ files,” she said, adding that the promise gave her “hope, gave me hope at least.”
Since Trump took office, however, Jones says the Justice Department and FBI have resisted releasing the documents, and the files that have been made public are heavily redacted. She told host Hiba Balfaqih that she has spoken with the FBI and even texted them the day Epstein died, yet she “hasn’t seen my files in there.” A bipartisan congressional vote eventually forced the DOJ to release what it claims are all relevant documents, but survivors like Jones and others contend that important evidence is still being withheld.
Now, Jones worries that “we’re not going to get justice” and that the promised accountability for Epstein’s network may never materialize. She has previously criticized Trump for politicizing the issue and urged him to act with “real leadership.” Other survivors, such as Haley Robson, have also turned against Trump after the initial, heavily redacted batches of files were released, calling the administration “disgusting” and demanding resignations of officials they perceive as obstructing full disclosure.
