A group of Jeffrey Epstein's victims released an advert on Super Bowl Sunday demanding the release of millions ofremaining documentsrelated to the late paedophile.
In the clip, which aired just ahead of America's most-watched TV event of the year, eight women called on the public to help press the Trump administration for full transparency.
"After years of being kept apart we're standing together," the women said, while holding photos of their younger selves at the ages they were abused by Epstein. In unison, they added: "Because we all deserve the truth."
Earlier this week, Mr Trump – whose second term has been marred by his one-time friendship with Epstein – told Americans it was time to"move on" from the sex offender.
The video's timing may cause a stir, as it was released right before Mr Trump, along with millions of others, tuned-in towatch the Seattle Seahawks battle the New England Patriotsin the championship of the National Football League (NFL).
On January 30, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) released three million pages related to theirinvestigation into Epstein,including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
However, the DoJ's decision to hold back the other half of the approximate six million files has renewed concerns that some of Epstein's accomplices will not be held accountable and sparked further allegations over a cover-up.
Epstein's victims are leading the calls for the release of the remaining records. Their video ended with a call for the public to "stand with us" and "tell Attorney General Pam Bondi it's time for the truth".
The DoJ insists that the withheld files either reveal victims' identities, contain child pornography or interfere with ongoing federal investigations.
"We didn't protect or not protect anybody," Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said as he announced that the department had "completed" its release of the files.
There are more than 38,000 references to Mr Trump, his wife and his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida across 5,300 of the newly released files.

Epstein died in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges in a death ruled a suicide.
His longtime associateGhislaine Maxwellwas jailed in 2022 and is serving a 20-year prison for her role in helping him recruit underage victims.
Members of Congress will be able to review the un-redacted files on computers at the justice department starting on Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News.
Trump: Half-time show 'absolutely terrible'
The sporting spectacle's half-time show was performed by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny completely in Spanish, despite fury from inside Maga at both his selection and refusal to bow to their demands to sing in English.
Despite the furore, the rapper wrapped his performance without controversy.
The Latino artist, who has been vocal in his opposition to the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign, instead emphasised unity in a dance-filled spectacle that featured Lady Gaga as a surprise guest.
He finished the show by holding up a football that said: "Together we are America".
As fireworks exploded around the stadium, a Jumbotron message read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."
The show also featured a young boy hugging Bad Bunny's Grammy Award, which he won three of last week.
The child's involvement is believed to bea reference to five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos,whose detainment by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota sparked a national outcry.
After the show, Mr Trump took to Truth Social to criticise the performance, calling it "absolutely terrible".
