UNCOVERING EPSTEIN’S TIES TO INTERLOCHEN AND MATT HALL'S ABUSE I am writing to demand an immediate, transparent investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s connections with the Interlochen Center for the Arts and a concurrent inquiry into House leadership’s handling of this matter. Recent events have exposed an abuse of power within the legislature. Following Representative Penelope Tsernoglou’s public call for a bipartisan select committee to investigate Epstein's ties to Interlochen, Speaker Matt Hall immediately stripped her of all committee appointments. This drastic and retaliatory measure strongly suggests an intentional effort to suppress information, shield powerful actors, and obstruct accountability. Silencing lawmakers who advocate for survivors of abuse is an intolerable breach of public trust. The legislature cannot permit the weaponization of committee assignments to bury potential corporate or institutional complicity in Epstein’s crimes. You must act to safeguard transparency and the rule of law. I urge you to support a floor vote to form a select committee investigating Interlochen, and to launch an immediate oversight inquiry into whether Speaker Hall's actions constitute a deliberate cover-up. The public deserves to know the truth, and survivors deserve justice.
