Washington, D.C. – *Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that he will be bringing Dani Bensky as one of his six guests to the State of the Union.*

As Trump’s Justice Department

refuses to release the full Epstein files, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer today announced he will bring Dani Bensky, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, as his personal guest to attend President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, February 24.

“I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky — a New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse — as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy, calling on President Trump to release every file and follow the law,” said Leader Schumer. “Survivors — and the American people — deserve the full truth. Instead, Trump’s DOJ is stonewalling: slow-walking disclosures, blacking out page after page. That’s not transparency. It’s a cover-up. Period. The powerful don’t deserve protection. Survivors deserve justice. President Trump must end the secrecy and release every Epstein file — now.”

“My survivor sisters and I have been fighting for transparency and accountability. Meanwhile, Donald Trump calls us a hoax, the laws of the Transparency Act have been broken, and we have had personal identifying information exposed. Trump and his DOJ continue to coverup and protect perpetrators. We need to release of all files,” said Dani Bensky. “This moment is one of great importance, not just for Epstein & Maxwell survivors but for all survivors of abuse. We cannot continue to be re-victimized by letting power exploit the vulnerable. We must keep shining a light in the darkest places together. As a life long New Yorker, I am honored and grateful to attend the State of The Union as Senator Schumer’s guest, the truth must come out.”

Dani Bensky is a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, who met the late convicted sex offender at age seventeen when she was a young ballerina. She is a leading advocate for transparency, accountability, and justice in the Epstein case. Now, in addition to her work as an advocate, Dani is a performer and dance educator with programs in New York and teaches at dance competitions and conventions across the country.

Schumer has long been an advocate for justice for Epstein survivors. Since 2019, Schumer has

called for the release of the Epstein files. After Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal, Senator Schumer called for the Office of Professional Responsibility to stop stonewalling and make the documentation public, adding he wanted the Senate to have hearings on the matter. More recently, in July,

Leader Schumer and Democratic committee colleagues pushed the DOJ to turn over the Epstein files by citing their authority under a little-known statute, the Rule of Five. And in September, Senator Schumer offered an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would have directed AG Bondi to release all unclassified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. In addition, Schumer led the push to successfully

pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act in December and continues to push the Trump administration to release full files.

Schumer has also

introduced Virginia’s Law, new landmark legislation to eliminate the statute of limitations that has shielded traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein and denied sexual exploitation survivors their day in court.
