I am writing to demand immediate action on the Jeffrey Epstein case files and accountability for Department of Justice officials who are obstructing transparency. The DOJ's refusal to release evidence legally mandated by H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, represents a betrayal of public trust and protection of perpetrators over survivors.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted on federal child sex trafficking charges in 2019 before dying in his jail cell while awaiting sentencing. Despite campaign promises to release the client list, the Trump administration's DOJ has declined to release evidence that could identify other perpetrators and bring justice to victims. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, demonstrating bipartisan recognition that transparency is essential.
I am deeply outraged by the abuses revealed in released documents and the ongoing protection of perpetrators. I urge you to take the following actions immediately. First, demand the DOJ release all documents legally mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act without further delay. Second, call for public hearings and investigations into alleged abuses revealed by these documents so that survivors receive justice and the public receives answers. Third, call for the resignations of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Todd Blanche for their roles in obstructing transparency. Fourth, support articles of impeachment and move to convict Donald Trump for his administration's protection of Epstein-related perpetrators.
Public trust has been broken. Survivors of trafficking deserve justice, not continued cover-ups by officials who prioritize protecting the powerful over accountability. Full disclosure of the files and public accountability are the only paths forward to restore faith that justice is being served. I expect you to stand with survivors and transparency by taking these actions immediately.
