Dear Representative,
I am writing as a constituent to urge you to take the position that the 30-day disclosure obligation under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) resets with the appointment or confirmation of any new Attorney General.
Attorney General Bondi departed the Department of Justice on April 2, 2026. Acting Attorney General Blanche — and whoever is ultimately confirmed as her permanent successor — should not inherit the DOJ’s prior claim of compliance. That claim was disputed by the Act’s own co-sponsors, challenged by the House Oversight Committee, and contradicted by hundreds of thousands of pages still redacted or withheld.
A change in leadership at DOJ is the appropriate moment to demand a fresh, independent review against the plain text of the statute.
I respectfully ask that you:
1. Publicly state that the 30-day window restarts upon the seating of a new Attorney General.
2. Demand the new AG conduct an independent compliance review rather than adopt prior certifications.
3. Support the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing efforts to obtain unredacted files and compel testimony.
The Act passed 427–1 in the House and by unanimous consent in the Senate. That level of bipartisan mandate deserves bipartisan enforcement.
Respectfully,
Sign Petition
