Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement on Donald Trump Reversing Course and His Continued White House Cover-Up of the Epstein Files, Calling on Republicans to Vote “YES” to Release Epstein Files

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social reversing course and calling on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files despite his ability to release them immediately.

“Donald Trump is leading a White House cover-up and has tried everything to kill our Jeffrey Epstein investigation. 

 He’s failed. And now he’s panicking and has realized he is about to lose this Epstein vote to force the Department of Justice to release the files.

 Let’s be crystal clear: Trump has the power to release all the files today. 

 And he is under subpoena to do so. But instead, he wants to continue this cover-up and launch bogus new investigations to deflect and slow down our investigation. It won’t work. We will get justice for the survivors. 

Mr. President, RELEASE THE FILES, NOW!” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia
