SNAP Cited in the Epstein Files

WASHINGTON, DC, February 11, 2026 – The  DOJ document release reveals that SNAP was a topic of discussion between Epstein and economist, Larry Summers, in early 2013. 

Their conversation concerned SNAP’s work to initiate an investigation by the International Criminal Court into the pope and three Vatican officials over sexual abuse.

That these two men of privilege were tracking our efforts shows how they perceived SNAP as threatening to their own wrongdoing. 

“It is clear that when those in power have something to hide, they closely watch global efforts to bring abuse into the light,” said Angela Walker, SNAP’s Executive Director. “SNAP continues the fight to hold abusers and their protectors accountable so that no one–not even the elite–can feel free to continue their crimes.”

SNAP stands with all survivors hurt by Epstein and his rich and powerful cronies, Walker said. No one is above the law, and all those who abuse children and women must be held to account. We will continue to ally with them, and all survivors, as they fight to bring their perpetrators and those that protected them, to justice.
