Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement on House Passing Epstein Files Transparency Act

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which now heads to the Senate. If passed by the Senate and signed by President Trump, the entirety of the Epstein files would be released by the Department of Justice to Congress and the public.

“We are ending this White House cover-up and demanding that Senator Thune take up the Epstein bill immediately.

Donald Trump is panicking and trying to stop our investigation. We need to know what he’s hiding, and what powerful men are responsible for the rape and abuse of children and women.

And let’s be clear – Donald Trump has the power to release the files today. But he chooses to delay and deflect.

No more lies. No more secrets. We will get justice for the survivors. Release the files, NOW,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia
