I am writing to urge you to support the full release of the Epstein files, with only the victims’ names redacted for their protection. The American people have a right to know the full extent of who was involved, without shielding those in positions of power or influence who may have participated in or enabled these crimes. Too often, justice is obstructed when perpetrators are protected while victims are silenced. Transparency is essential to restoring public trust in our institutions and ensuring that those who committed or facilitated such abuses are held accountable. Redacting the perpetrators’ names would only perpetuate the cycle of secrecy and privilege that allowed such crimes to go unchecked for so long. By supporting the release of these files—redacting only the victims’ identities—you would stand with survivors, uphold the principle of equal justice under the law, and reaffirm your commitment to transparency and accountability in government. I respectfully ask you to take a public stance on this issue and advocate for full disclosure. The truth should not be hidden, no matter how powerful the individuals involved may be. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
