FROM CONGRESSMAN NICK LANGWORTHY: “As I have said all along, I stand for full justice for all of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and today’s vote marks another step toward accountability for his heinous criminal operation. Jeffrey Epstein and those who aided him were depraved predators who preyed on young women’s vulnerability. While the investigations led by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice continue, ensuring the utmost care for survivors and transparency for the American public will continue to be my top priority. Today’s near-unanimous vote sends a clear message that the sexual abuse and exploitation of minors will not go unpunished.”
FROM CONGRESSWOMAN CLAUDIA TENNEY: “I voted YES on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This bill will direct the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, including files related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs to the island, and any plea deals related to the Epstein files. I applaud President Trump’s commitment to release the files, something President Biden failed to do during his tenure. The American people deserve to know the extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s depravity and any other individuals that were complicit in his heinous crimes. However, this Democrat discharge petition is poorly drafted and fails to include sufficient protections to preserve the privacy of the victims, prevent the release of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and keep whistleblowers and undercover law enforcement officers protected. The Senate must amend this legislation to include important safeguards to protect the victims and protect confidential methods and sources. However, I supported this resolution generally because the release of the files will help provide closure to the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein and ensure the public has all the information possible related to this tragedy.”
FROM SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER: “We need to make sure all the documents are released. We’ll do everything we can to make sure all of it comes to light.”
