In record State of the Union, Trump spars with Dems, touts economy and immigration

Just hours before President Trump's State of the Union address, Democratic lawmakers and several survivors of Jeffrey Epstein spoke on Capitol Hill to demand more action from the administration.

Sky Roberts, the brother of the late Virginia Roberts Guiffre, called for "Virginia’s Law" to be passed by Congress, legislation that seeks to do away with the statute of limitations on sex abuse and trafficking victims' right to sue.

"Virginia's Law is about saying clearly that the rules that protected abusers and traffickers for decades will no longer stand. It’s about closing the gaps that powerful people exploit. It is about strengthening accountability so survivors are not forced to fight alone for years against the machine built to wear them down," Sky Roberts said.

Sky and Amanda Roberts will attend Trump's speech as guests by Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Suhas Subramanyam.

Dani Bensky, an Epstein survivor, took aim at the Trump administration and FBI Director Kash Patel. Bensky is attending Trump's speech as a guest of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

“As we prepare to attend the State of the Union, survivors and this country have so many questions that need to be answered. The first one is, where are the rest of the files? The truth must come out. Why are there no investigations when there are plenty of people in these files to investigate?" Bensky said. "This administration needs to do better."

President Trump and the Justice Department have been dogged by questions about the Epstein files and their partial release and redactions. The DOJ said it has complied with the law passed by Congress that forced their release.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will display George Washington's gavel during the State of the Union address, according to his office and the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.

The gavel, which was first used in 1793 by Washington to lay the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol building, "beautifully reflects the importance of preserving and sharing the Capitol's history," Roswell Encina, president and CEO of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, said in a statement.

Trump is expected to announce an agreement with top tech companies during the State of the Union in an attempt to address a key factor shaping Americans' perceptions of affordability: rising electric bills, multiple sources told ABC News.

The agreement would see tech companies behind the AI boom pledge to cover costs associated with the build out of new data centers so they don't increase household electricity prices, according to the sources.

Electricity prices are up 6.3% in the past year, according to the latest government data.

Trump is expected to say the companies have committed to "pay their own way" so electricity prices don't rise for consumers, the sources said. Specific details of the deal remain unclear ahead of the planned announcement.
