Epstein survivors removed from Trump convention after 35 minutes

Jeffrey Epstein abuse survivors were escorted out of President Donald Trump's Dallas convention Thursday, with one saying they were treated "like criminals" despite holding valid passes alongside a reporter. Survivors Charleen Richard and Marijke Chartouni joined journalist Tara Palmeri at the Republican midterm convention, but security seized their badges, photographed them, and removed them about 35 minutes after arrival. Palmeri's media credential was revoked after security asked about signs, which the group did not carry. The survivors were in Dallas for a traveling exhibit of Epstein files, pressing for prosecution of his enablers. Palmeri said the removal stemmed from raising Epstein's name at a Trump event, where the president headlined both nights.
