Demand Immediate Action on Trump’s Illegal Withholding of Epstein Files

To: Sen. Ernst, Rep. Nunn, Sen. Grassley

From: A constituent in Des Moines, IA

December 19

I am writing as a constituent to condemn President Donald Trump’s failure to comply with federal law requiring the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and to demand immediate legislative action in response. The law Congress passed and President Trump signed was unambiguous: the Trump administration had 30 days to release all Epstein-related files. Not some. Not a curated subset. All of them. Failing to do so is a clear violation of the law. No president is above the law. When a president openly defies a statute, Congress has a constitutional duty to act. Silence in the face of lawbreaking is not neutrality—it is consent. This matter goes beyond partisanship. It goes to the heart of democratic accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of children from sexual exploitation. When elected officials remain silent while a president withholds legally mandated disclosures tied to documented sex crimes, that silence speaks loudly. History does not look kindly on complicity. You were elected to serve the people—not to shield executive lawlessness. I am demanding that you: 1. Publicly acknowledge that the law has been violated. 2. Support or initiate immediate oversight and enforcement actions. 3. Back impeachment proceedings if compliance is not immediate and complete. 4. Use all lawful tools available to compel full release of the Epstein files without redaction or delay. Failure to act signals tolerance of corruption and abuse of power. Constituents are watching, and history will record who defended the law—and who chose silence. I expect a clear public position and concrete action
