The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Bookmobile takes trips across the country, opening its doors to those in the community to explore the released Epstein Files while also relaying the history between Epstein and President Trump.
In the traveling van are over 400 volumes of files at around 800 pages each, totaling 2,500 pounds of paper.
Dani Bensky, who was abused by Epstein, travels with the van, sharing her story.
"I keep saying that it feels kind of strange to take this around the country and just basically campaign for basic human decency, because it's never been political for us," said Bensky. "So I hope people walk away with the sense of humanity at the end of it all."
Bensky said she hopes the magnitude of the number of documents inside of the bookmobile for onlookers to see is what sticks out.
"We used to really live in isolation and think that we were buried in our own shame and really be locked into our own stories," answered Bensky. "But once we found each other and we started talking about how many of us there were, we're talking about numbers of over 1000. We think the number is closer to 1400 at this point, of survivors and victims just within the Epstein and Maxwell case. So, just remembering how big this is. And it's oddly validating to see this much paperwork."
Joining Bensky on Saturday was Matt Dunlap, Democratic candidate for Congressional District 2, who said, if elected, he would make further investigation, removing the statute of limitations and accountability a priority.
"It's just an extraordinary story of how simple authority that we derive from the electorate as public officials can be abused and to power over people, change their lives, traumatize them and keep them anonymous, keep them quiet," stated Dunlap. "And it shouldn't be quiet."
The bookmobile will be back in Lewiston on Sunday before leaving the state, continuing its journey across the nation.
