Dear Mr Neece,
Thank you for contacting me about transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.
The crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were horrific, and my heart goes out to the women and girls who suffered at their hands. Victims deserve justice, and the American people deserve full transparency about who was involved and how these crimes were allowed to happen. That is why I have consistently supported efforts to bring the truth to light and to hold accountable those who perpetrated these unspeakable acts.
I voted in favor of H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was then signed into law by President Trump. The bill, which directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all credible documents related to Epstein and Maxwell within 30 days, is designed to provide clarity and accountability while ensuring that the identities of victims remain protected. No survivor should ever be retraumatized by having their name exposed.
We must remember that there are people who will be named in these files who had nothing to do with Epstein’s horrific crimes. It is my hope that their identities are protected and that no innocent person named in these documents for reasons beyond their control or for providing testimony faces harm or public ridicule.
I also continue to support House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in his committee's work to bring the full truth to light. Their efforts are essential to ensuring the public understands what happened, who was responsible, and how such abuses can be prevented in the future -- all while safeguarding the privacy of the victims and those not directly involved.
As both the DOJ and the House Oversight Committee continue their work and release materials, I will continue to focus on the priorities Arkansans care deeply about, including lowering everyday prices, making housing more affordable, addressing high healthcare costs, making our cities safer, and completing our work of funding the government.
Thank you again for reaching out. It is an honor to represent you in Congress.
Sincerely,
French Hill
Member of Congress
