Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the release of the documents related to crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein. As your representative, I appreciate hearing from you.
Last summer, I was one of the first fifty representatives in Congress who signed their names on the discharge petition (H.Res. 581) to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files. After Democrats secured enough signatures on the discharge petition to bring the bill to the House floor, I was proud to vote for the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405). That bill forced the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all the Epstein files by January, while including proper redactions and protections for innocent victims and survivors.
Since the bill was signed into law, the Administration’s handling of its implementation has raised serious concerns. It has missed statutory deadlines, applied excessive and unusual redactions to information related to co-conspirators, and, most troublingly, failed to adequately protect the names and images of survivors. At the same time, the documents that have been released have shed additional light on the network surrounding Epstein, including individuals with ties to the current Administration.
Throughout this process, I have worked with my colleagues on the House Oversight Committee to press for accountability. Oversight Democrats have secured subpoenas for key individuals with knowledge of Epstein crimes and launched investigations into the Administration’s cover up. Rest assured, we will not stop until every document has been released, every co-conspirator held to account, and justice is secured for the victims and survivors.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. Democracy works best when we stay in touch, so I invite you to sign-up for email updates at shontelbrown.house.gov/contact. If you need additional information or assistance, please contact my Washington office at (202) 225-7032 or my District office at (216) 522-4900. It is a privilege and an honor to serve you in Washington.
Sincerely,
Shontel Brown
Member of Congress
