Congress: Release the Epstein Files Now

This week, media outlets including The New York Times, Politico and The Guardian reported that Epstein’s private communications reference Trump spending “hours” with one of his trafficking victims — and that Trump “knew about the girls.”

Yet despite the release of over 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate, huge swaths of files held by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation remain sealed — leaving survivors without justice and the public without truth.

Congress has the power and the duty to make these records public. Representatives Ro Khanna (D‑CA) and Thomas Massie (R‑KY) are working to force a floor vote to demand the DOJ release all Epstein‐related files.

Every day these documents remain locked away, the system that protected the powerful is emboldened. This isn’t just about past crimes — it’s about stopping future abuses by exposing privilege and impunity.

The House Oversight Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee can act now: schedule hearings, compel declassification of all remaining Epstein files, and vote to release them publicly — before they disappear again. The American people deserve to know who knew what — and when.

We’ve seen how public pressure can force Congress’s hand. When millions demanded the release of the January 6th records, lawmakers responded. The same pressure can force action here. If enough of us speak out, Congress will have no choice but to release every file — before it’s too late.
