Dear Mr. Neece,
Thank you for contacting me regarding Jeffery Epstein. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this very important issue.
As you may know, in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and allegations of sexually abusing girls as young as 14 years old. Weeks before the trail was expected to begin, Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell. In 2021, Epstein’s long time companion and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted of sex trafficking minors after she groomed underaged girls on Epstein’s behalf.
On November 19, 2025, President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law which would require the Department of Justice to release all files and communications related to Jefferey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison within 30 days. The Department of Justice has since published over 3.5 million responsive pages in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, of which I am not a member, has stated that it is "conducting a thorough review of the federal government’s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Committee is committed to providing accountability and transparency to the American people and the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes."
Human trafficking is a terrible violation of internationally respected human rights, as well as a violation of our basic human dignity. I believe we have a moral obligation to stop this heinous practice that, unfortunately, continues even in the 21st century.
Please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind should any further legislation regarding Jeffery Epstein or the Epstein Files come before the House floor for a vote.
