Quit Protecting Predators: Launch the Epstein-Interlochen Probe Now I am a voting constituent writing to urge your immediate intervention regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to the Interlochen Center for the Arts and the disturbing political suppression surrounding it. While this is unfolding at the state level, the implications demand the attention of all lawmakers committed to oversight and child protection. Recent disclosures leave the public wondering whether the notorious predator used this school to target young victims. In response, a bipartisan coalition of Michigan lawmakers called for a select committee to investigate. Shockingly, House Speaker Matt Hall retaliated by stripping Representative Penelope Tsernoglou of all her committee assignments for leading the press conference. Weaponizing legislative authority to bury an investigation into a child sex trafficking ring is an institutional disgrace. When political leaders use thuggery to quash transparency, they become complicit in the cover-up. As a US legislator, you cannot let partisan games shield those connected to history's most infamous predator. I urge you to use your platform to condemn Speaker Hall’s corrupt retaliation, demand the immediate opening of a full, independent investigation into the Epstein-Interlochen connection, and ensure justice for the survivors who have been silenced for far too long.
