I am writing as your constituent to demand aggressive oversight and legislative action regarding the Department of Justice and the Trump administration’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein–related files. The pattern of delay, selective disclosure, and reliance on vague references to “ongoing investigations” has severely undermined public trust in both DOJ and the broader promise of equal justice under law.
The public was repeatedly promised transparency about who enabled Epstein, who failed to stop him, and how institutions—including federal agencies—allowed his abuse to continue. Instead, we see missed or extended deadlines and shifting justifications for withholding records. This looks less like protecting legitimate law enforcement interests and more like protecting powerful people from accountability.
As your constituent, I ask you to:
1. Publicly call on President Trump and the Attorney General to immediately release all Epstein-related DOJ and FBI records that can lawfully be disclosed, with only narrowly tailored redactions to protect active cases, victims’ privacy, and genuine national security interests.
2. Support or introduce legislation strengthening transparency requirements for Epstein-related materials, including enforceable deadlines, real penalties for noncompliance, and robust whistleblower protections for DOJ and FBI employees who report political interference or bad‑faith secrecy.
3. Push for formal oversight hearings in relevant committees (Judiciary, Oversight, Intelligence) focused specifically on Epstein files, missed disclosure deadlines, White House involvement, and the criteria being used to justify continued withholding.
4. Oppose any broad, catch‑all invocations of “ongoing investigation” that function in practice as political shields rather than narrowly tailored protections for real law enforcement needs.
Survivors and the public deserve truth, not another generation of sealed files and silent institutions. I am watching closely and will base my future support, donations, and votes on whether you stand with victims and transparency or with secrecy that benefits the powerful.
I look forward to your prompt, specific response outlining the actions you will take.
