US EditionDave Min: It’s Time to Release the Epstein Files and Stop Protecting Pedophiles
The House vote seeks to expose Epstein's criminal network and uphold justice despite opposition from Trump and allies who delayed the release for nine months.
- Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on releasing the Epstein files, records kept by Jeffrey Epstein and now held by Epstein's estate that may implicate traffickers.
- Survivors' accounts and calls for accountability prompted renewed pressure to disclose the records, as proponents argue releasing the files is essential for justice and upholding the American legal system.
- Blocking maneuvers by Trump allies have stalled a forced vote, with House Speaker Mike Johnson refusing to seat Representative Adelita Grijalva despite claims in newly surfaced emails and a birthday card alleging Donald Trump knew of Epstein's trafficking.
- Releasing the files, supporters say, would signal that no one is above the law and help stop protecting pedophiles while exposing Epstein's system involving wealthy and influential people.
- Congressional Democrats say they are united in pushing for disclosure, and Min vows he will not rest until the files are released and justice is served.
