Enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act

I’m writing as a constituent to urge you to continue pressing the Department of Justice to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress. You already know the history and the stakes. Congress set clear requirements and deadlines for the release of unclassified Epstein-related records. Those deadlines have been missed, and the DOJ’s reported position—that courts lack authority to compel compliance—is deeply troubling. No executive agency should be able to ignore a duly enacted law and then declare itself beyond oversight. I’m asking you to use the full scope of Congress’s authority to enforce this Act, including robust oversight, subpoenas for unclassified records and internal DOJ communications, and the use of appropriations or other leverage to ensure compliance. If necessary, I strongly support the appointment of an independent monitor or special master to oversee disclosure and lawful timelines. If DOJ leadership is willfully obstructing the execution of this law, Congress must be prepared to escalate—including formal investigations into that obstruction. Transparency cannot be optional, and enforcement cannot be discretionary. I want to be clear that I deeply appreciate the work you have already done to defend congressional authority, accountability, and the rule of law. This letter is offered in support of that work and as encouragement to keep pressing forward. This is not a partisan issue. It’s about whether powerful institutions are accountable to the same laws as everyone else—and whether survivors and the public are owed the transparency Congress promised. Thank you for your continued leadership and persistence.
