[October 3, 2025] – [Washington, D.C.]: Members of Congress and particularly, the Speaker of the House demonstrating obvious complicity in suppressing the Epstein Files
The coverup of a crime is aiding and abetting that crime, and the US government has been aiding and abetting Jeffrey Epstein-related child sex trafficking for nearly two decades. The federal coverup of Epstein’s trafficking network was initiated by the George Bush II administration in 2007. And the coverup has continued under the Barak Obama, Joesph Biden, and Trump administrations.
Epstein Justice absolutely lauds the efforts of Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) to release the “Epstein files” and initiate an investigation of the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking network via a discharge petition—House Resolution 581.
At this point, the discharge petition (House Resolution 581) seems to be en route to a majority of 218 votes in the House of Representatives. If it passes with a 218 vote majority, it will become House Bill 185, and the House would actually vote on releasing the Epstein files and an investigation.
But Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has deliberately attempted to sabotage the efforts of Representatives Massie an Khanna. Indeed, he adjourned the House’s summer break early, so its members could not vote on House Resolution 581. In the wake of President Donald Trump dismissing Epstein-related child trafficking as a “hoax,” Johnson proffered a rather bizarre lie, saying that President Donald Trump had been an FBI informant vis-à-vis Epstein.
If House Bill 185 receives a majority in the House, it will then need a majority in the Senate. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) added a rider to a defense policy bill mandating that the Epstein files should be released and called for an Epstein investigation, but the legislation was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 51-49.
Tragically, 217 members of the House of Representatives and 51 Senators have voted against releasing the Epstein files and a subsequent investigation, thereby aiding and abetting Epstein-related child trafficking.
If legislation mandating the release of the Epstein files and an investigation into the Epstein child trafficking network receives a majority in the House and Senate, it then has to be signed into law by the president, whose administration has contravened its promise of Epstein transparency.
For example, on July 6, the FBI and Department of Justice released an unsigned “memo” acknowledging that Epstein had more than a thousand victims, but the victims had been solely acquired and molested by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which is patently false.
The memo also stated that 300 gigabytes of data were seized from Epstein’s possessions, which included
a huge cache of child abuse material. In the memo, the FBI and Department of Justice declared that Epstein’s cache of child abuse material had been solely downloaded from the internet. However, in a prior statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi contradicted the memo when she said: “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims.”
Epstein Justice seeks the establishment of an independent congressional commission that has two straightforward objectives: explain why the administrations under four presidents—two Republican and two Democratic—have covered up child sex trafficking, and we want Epstein-related perpetrators to be prosecuted.
We have come to believe that only an independent congressional commission that is non-partisan can truly investigate the Epstein case. Congressional commissions have taken difficult decisions out of Congress' hands and made their findings and recommendations more politically acceptable to both Congress and to the public.
When Epstein Justice initially proposed an independent congressional commission, our detractors proclaimed that we would never acquire the votes for a congressional commission, because it would require a majority in the House and in the Senate. But Representatives in the House are on the threshold of having a majority vote for an Epstein investigation, and Senators are very close to a majority. An independent congressional commission does not require the president’s consent, so we now need our legislators to back a congressional commission.
It's up to us as Americans to ensure our federal legislators to do the right thing. After all, this is our country.
