Dear Kevin,
Thank you for contacting my office regarding Jeffery Epstein. As always, I welcome your input.
As you may know, in 2008 Jeffrey Epstein pled guilty to soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor, serving 13 months in a work-release jail program, registering as a sex offender, and paying restitution to victims. In February, the Department of Justice (DOJ) released several hundred pages of documents related to the case. On July 7, 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and DOJ released a joint press release stating that after an exhaustive review, no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted at that time.
Please know that on September 3, 2025, I voted for H.Res. 668. This legislation would require the House Oversight Committee to continue its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and to release all records, including detention files, flight logs, plea deals, and DOJ communications to the public. This legislation was passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with a 212-208 vote.
Additionally, H.R. 4405 was introduced by Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This legislation would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials related to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically, this would include materials concerning Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, and any individuals who were named or referenced in connection with the Epstein investigation and prosecution. On November 18, 2025, I voted in favor of this legislation, which passed the House of Representatives with a 427-1 vote.
I understand the importance of this issue and will continue to support efforts to ensure there is accountability, transparency, and fairness related to this case, while ensuring victims are protected. The House Committee on Oversight has released several thousand documents they have received from the DOJ and FBI in relation to their own investigation. I am hopeful that through the work of the committee, the American public will get the answers it deserves. Please know that I will keep your views in mind should further legislation regarding this issue come to a vote before me in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Again, thank you for your correspondence. Please do not hesitate to contact me with future questions or comments.
Sincerely,
JOHN MOOLENAAR
Member of Congress
