Apply Equal Standards to All Individuals Named in Epstein Investigation
To: Rep. Messmer, Sen. Young, Sen. Banks
From: A verified voter in Mount Vernon, IN
January 13
As a concerned constituent, American, mother, and woman, I am writing to strongly urge you to ensure that the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein applies equal standards to all individuals named in the released files, regardless of political affiliation.
While I understand the committee is pursuing contempt proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton for failing to appear for depositions scheduled this week, this same level of scrutiny must extend to all powerful figures connected to Epstein, including Republicans such as Donald Trump.
Any comprehensive investigation must examine all individuals who appear in these documents or had documented associations with Epstein.
Selective enforcement based on party affiliation undermines the legitimacy of congressional oversight and erodes public trust in our institutions.
Recent history demonstrates inconsistent application of contempt standards.
If Chairman Comer and the Oversight Committee are serious about uncovering the truth regarding Epstein's network of powerful associates, they must issue subpoenas to all individuals named in the files and pursue contempt proceedings equally against anyone who refuses to comply.
The American people deserve answers about how a convicted sex offender maintained access to the highest levels of power across both parties. And survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking deserve justice and accountability.
I strongly urge you to publicly call for equal treatment of all witnesses in this investigation and to support subpoenas for every individual with documented Epstein connections, regardless of their political party. Justice cannot be selective.
