Rep. Ro Khanna’s State of the Union guest was a former Epstein victim who later helped introduce the now-deceased pedophile to other underage girls.
The guest, Haley Robson, met deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, according to police documents reviewed by Fox News.
She later started recruiting other underage girls for him for $200/pop and even bragged to police about it, telling them, “I’m like Heidi Fleiss.”
Fleiss was an infamous madam who operated a prostitution ring right in the middle of Hollywood.
Haley Robson, Ro Khanna’s guest tonight for the SOTU told police that Epstein never abused her and that she recruited about 24 underage women for him.
She made $200 per girl.

Years later, Robson described her relationship with the now-deceased pedophile in a Netflix documentary about him.
“I would recruit girls who were friends,” she said in the documentary. “I would casually bring it up, and we would drive together to his house. I would take them to his room, and then I’d walk out.”
“Sometimes I would wait by the pool. When the girls would leave, Jeffrey would come out and pay me. I probably recruited 24 girls. Those girls brought other girls too. They were all underage,” she added.
In fairness, she also later admitted to being “destroyed” by guilt over her past behavior.
Asked by Fox News about why he brought her specifically to the State of the Union address, Khanna’s office issued a statement.
“Haley Robson was 16 years old when she survived Epstein’s abuse,” they said. “This campaign to malign her and the other survivors on the night of the State of the Union is shameful.”
“Attack me all you want. Do not attack the survivors. I am honored to bring [her] as my guest to Trump’s State of the Union. Their courage moved a nation,” he added.
In a video published to the social media platform X prior to the address on Tuesday, Khanna defended his decision to choose Robson.
BREAKING – Weeks after defaming innocent men on the House floor, Ro Khanna announces he is bringing Haley Robson, one of the women who recruited girls for Epstein for cash payments of $200 per girl, to use against President Trump’s State of the Union speech.

“Haley Robeson just wants justice,” Khanna proclaimed in the video above. “That’s why I’m inviting her as my guest tomorrow at the State of the Union. She’ll be speaking not just for herself, but for the thousands of survivors. She’s a former Trump voter. It’s not about politics.”
“It’s about making sure we’re prosecuting those men who abused these young girls and who committed horrific crimes. I want justice here in the United States of America. It is time for the FBI and the Department of Justice to begin investigations and prosecutions,” he added.
Other Democrats also brought Epstein survivors to the address.
“I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on X.
“Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files — NOW,” he added.
Rep. Robert Garcia, meanwhile, sent an Epstein victim to the address in his stead so that he could personally attend a reportedly very lame and weird counter-event (pictured below).

“Annie Farmer is a courageous survivor of Epstein’s abuse,” Garcia wrote on X. “I’ve invited Annie to the State of the Union so she can join other survivors and remind the President of his refusal to release all the Epstein files.”
