Children were raped. The man responsible built a decades-long criminal network with the apparent knowledge and participation of powerful people across government, finance, academia, and politics. He died in federal custody under circumstances that have never been satisfactorily explained. And the files that could tell the American people exactly who was involved are still being hidden, redacted, and stonewalled. I need you to tell me — in writing — why you are tolerating this. The facts are not in dispute. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act and Trump signed it into law. The DOJ missed the legally mandated December 19, 2025 release deadline. Then on Christmas Eve, DOJ admitted it had discovered over one million additional documents — prompting a bipartisan group of 12 senators to call it a violation of the law itself. When materials were finally released, the FBI had spent over $851,000 in taxpayer money not releasing them, but redacting them. And in February 2026, NPR reported that dozens of FBI interview pages containing specific allegations of sexual abuse against the sitting President of the United States are simply missing from the public record — present in raw FBI files, absent from the DOJ database. That is not an oversight. That is the removal of evidence from a legally mandated disclosure. The people responsible for releasing these files have lied to you and to the American public. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News in February 2025 that Epstein's client list was "sitting on my desk right now to review." Five months later she declared the DOJ had found "no incriminating client list" whatsoever. That is not a changed conclusion. That is a contradiction. Trump pledged during the 2024 campaign to release the files — then pressured House Republicans to kill the very transparency legislation he later signed. JD Vance said publicly, "Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list." FBI Director Kash Patel promised under oath he would help uncover those involved. None of them have delivered. All of them knew what they were promising. I am asking you to do two things. Use every tool at your disposal — subpoena power, committee authority, floor resolutions — to compel the immediate, complete, and unredacted release of every remaining Epstein file, including the missing FBI interview pages. And support an independent special counsel investigation into every named individual in those files, operating entirely outside the DOJ political appointees who have already proven they will suppress this material. The law has been broken. The evidence of obstruction is documented. The public mandate is overwhelming. The victims have waited decades. What are you waiting for? Every day these files stay hidden, the people who abused children remain protected by the government that failed to stop the abuse in the first place. Your silence on this is a choice. I expect a written response stating your specific position and the steps you intend to take. I will be sharing your answer — or your silence — with my community.
