This goes beyond Epstein.
I met with survivors & advocates in Rochester and Buffalo to push Virginia’s Law to eliminate the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein.
Because justice should NEVER expire.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
