No More Epstein Cover-Ups. Congress Must Act

Congress passed a law to expose Jeffrey Epstein’s secrets. But the Justice Department is still withholding millions of files — and lawmakers are fighting to force another vote to uncover the truth.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna are pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bipartisan bill that would give survivors, state attorneys general, and members of Congress the power to sue the Justice Department for unlawfully withholding records.

The original transparency law was supposed to expose the full extent of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and the failures that allowed it to continue. Instead, lawmakers say millions of documents remain hidden, while others have been released with extensive redactions. Survivors are still waiting for answers — and potentially crucial evidence remains out of reach.

Tell Congress: Force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II and give survivors the tools to demand the truth.

Massie says he has enough support to reach the 218 signatures needed to force a House vote when Congress returns. But signatures alone aren't enough. Lawmakers must actually vote on the bill and pass enforceable protections against government secrecy.

Jeffrey Epstein abused and trafficked girls while powerful institutions repeatedly failed to stop him. Survivors deserve access to records about their own abuse, and prosecutors deserve the evidence they need to investigate potential crimes.

The new legislation would allow survivors to obtain unredacted records about themselves, empower state prosecutors to access evidence, and let authorized parties challenge the DOJ in court when it unlawfully withholds information. It would also strengthen accountability for officials who deliberately conceal or destroy records.

Congress already demanded transparency once. Now it must make that demand enforceable. Add your name and tell Congress to force a vote, pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, and protect survivors' right to justice.

The petition to the U.S. House of Representatives reads:

"Force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II and pass legislation giving survivors, state prosecutors, and Congress the power to challenge the Justice Department's unlawful withholding of Epstein-related records. Ensure full transparency under the law, protect survivors' privacy, and hold officials accountable for concealing evidence."
