I am writing to demand accountability for the administration’s continued failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. This refusal is not a matter of discretion or delay—it is a violation of the law and a fundamental breach of public trust. These records concern credible allegations of serious criminal conduct and potential obstruction of justice. They do not belong to any administration, political party, or agency. They belong to the public. Continued suppression raises grave constitutional concerns, including violations of due process, equal protection under the law, and Congress’s Article I oversight authority. No executive branch has the authority to withhold evidence of crimes to protect powerful individuals or institutions. When transparency is denied to shield the well-connected, the rule of law collapses into selective enforcement. That is not governance—it is corruption. Congress has both the power and the obligation to act. Silence or inaction in the face of clear obstruction makes legislators complicit. Oversight hearings, subpoenas, contempt proceedings, and impeachment inquiries exist precisely for moments like this. If they are not used now, then they exist only in theory. The American people are not asking for speculation or delay. We are demanding lawful transparency and equal justice. Victims deserve acknowledgment, not erasure, and justice must not be contingent on wealth or influence. I expect a clear public statement detailing what concrete actions you are taking to compel the immediate release of the Epstein files and to hold accountable any official obstructing that process. Anything less is a failure of your oath.
