93rd Response from United States Congress Regarding Marller Gets a Spinoff: The Return of Jeffrey Epstein

March 17, 2026

Dear Mr Neece,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the current state of investigations relating to Jeffery Epstein conducted by the Department of Justice. I appreciate your engagement on this issue.

H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, was introduced on July 15, 2025, by Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) and was signed into law by President Trump on November 19, 2025. This bill passed the House of Representatives by an almost unanimous vote of 427-1. This vote forced the release of thousands of documents in the Department of Justice's possession that pertain to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, and three million documents have been released to date. I voted in favor of this legislation because transparency is a key component in maintaining the rule of law in our country, and it is of the upmost importance to hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable. 

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee recently deposed former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of the formal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, along with many other individuals who possessed information relevant to the investigation. I trust the Committee and federal law enforcement to continue to carry out its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and deliver justice for the victims of these terrible crimes while also protecting their privacy and other sensitive material. Though I do not sit on this Committee, I will keep your thoughts in mind should any legislation come to the floor regarding the Epstein investigation.

Again, thank you for reaching out. I always appreciate hearing from my fellow Oklahomans. Your input helps me do a better job representing the people of the Fourth District of Oklahoma. If I can be of assistance to you or your family, please do not hesitate to contact me. I also encourage you to visit my website at cole.house.gov to stay informed about my work in Congress and the services my office provides to Oklahomans.

Sincerely,

Tom Cole

Member of Congress
