I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent developments reported in the article titled “Fight Over Epstein Disclosures Brings House to Standstill” (https://apple.news/ApEB-2OO9QfymzW15Q7Z5Fg). The article highlights the House Rules Committee’s decision to block an amendment proposed by Representative Ro Khanna that would have compelled a vote to demand the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files by Attorney General Pam Bondi. It is alarming that this critical opportunity for transparency was obstructed, reportedly by a vote along party lines. The American public deserves full transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case, which involves serious allegations of criminal behavior, including the exploitation of minors. Blocking the release of these files raises questions about accountability and the integrity of our institutions. Any effort to suppress this information risks enabling a cover-up of heinous crimes and undermines public trust in Congress. As your constituent, I urge you to take immediate action to support the release of all relevant Epstein documents. Transparency is not only a matter of justice for the victims but also a necessary step to ensure that those who may be implicated—regardless of their status or influence—face appropriate scrutiny. By obstructing the release of these files, members of Congress risk appearing complicit in shielding individuals who may have engaged in or enabled criminal activity. I respectfully request that you: 1 Publicly advocate for the immediate release of all Epstein-related documents held by the Department of Justice. 2 Support any future amendments or legislative efforts to ensure these files are made public without delay. 3 Work to restore public confidence by prioritizing accountability and justice over political considerations. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the American people deserve answers. I implore you to act decisively to ensure that Congress does not become an accessory to concealing the truth. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter, and I look forward to your response outlining the steps you will take to address this issue.
