Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency with overwhelming bipartisan support. Compliance has been partial at best and the Department of Justice has reportedly argued that federal courts lack the authority to compel compliance with the Act at all.
If an executive agency can ignore a duly enacted statute and then claim immunity from enforcement, Congress’s lawmaking power is effectively nullified. That outcome cannot be accepted.
I urge Congress to take immediate action using all tools available.
This is not about partisanship. It is about whether powerful institutions are subject to the same laws as everyone else. Survivors, victims, and the public deserve transparency — not delay, defiance, or procedural evasion.
Congress wrote this law. Congress must now enforce it.
I am writing to urge you to exercise the full scope of Congress’s constitutional and statutory authority to enforce and to ensure that no executive agency is permitted to place itself beyond oversight, judicial review, or the rule of law.
Thank you
