Congressman Edwards Votes in Favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Edwards voted in favor of the full release of the files associated with the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators. 

Earlier this Congress, Congressman Edwards voted in favor of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the “Epstein Files,” which has already resulted in the release of 65,000 documents. As a former member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Edwards maintains full confidence in the ability of the Oversight Committee to conduct such an investigation; however, it became clear the American people deserve answers sooner rather than later. 

“While I continue to support the House Oversight Committee in their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators, I would not vote against any measure that makes these files more accessible to the American people. After nearly six years of being swept under the rug and termed a “conspiracy theory” by the prior administration, it is finally time for the American people to get answers about who the perpetrators of these heinous acts were, and for the victims to receive justice. I look forward to seeing the truth come to light and holding those involved accountable.”

The resolution to release the “Epstein Files” passed the House with a vote of 427-1 and will now head to the Senate for a vote.
