I am writing to urge you to vote in favor of HR4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This crucial legislation mandates the release of all unclassified documents and records held by the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein. If there is nothing to hide, these files should be made public without delay. The bill requires the Attorney General to release a wide range of materials within 30 days of enactment, including investigative files, communications, flight logs, and information on entities tied to Epstein's networks. This comprehensive disclosure is essential for public trust and accountability. HR4405 also demands the declassification of Epstein-related information to the maximum extent possible, with only limited exceptions for properly classified national security information. Any redactions must be accompanied by written justifications, ensuring a high level of transparency in the process. The impact of this legislation cannot be overstated. It will provide unprecedented access to information about the Epstein case, potentially leading to new insights about his activities and associates. While the administrative burden on the Department of Justice may be significant, the public's right to know outweighs these concerns. I understand there may be arguments against this bill, citing national security risks or potential reputational harm. However, the legislation already includes provisions to protect genuinely sensitive information. The prohibition on withholding information based on embarrassment or political sensitivity is a critical feature, not a flaw. As your constituent, I believe that full transparency in this matter is paramount. The Epstein case has raised serious questions about the functioning of our justice system and the influence of wealth and power. By voting for HR4405, you will demonstrate your commitment to accountability and the public's right to information. I urge you to support this bill and push for its swift passage. The 30-day deadline for release after enactment underscores the urgency of this matter. Please vote in favor of HR4405 and help ensure that the truth about the Epstein case is finally brought to light.
